The FireBag thermal shutoff off consists of a zinc-plated steel pipe that contains a small device that responds to high temperatures. This device contains a plug, a spring, and a fusible metal alloy. When the ambient temperature near the FireBag reaches a trigger temperature of 203˚-212˚F, the fusible metal alloy melts, releasing the plug, and thereby shutting the flow of gas through the steel line.
This sturdy small mechanism can withstand 1,697˚F for 60 minutes, giving time for first responders to reach the home and turn the gas supply off from the curb.
Since the FireBag is a passive device and only triggers in a fire situation, it is virtually maintenance free. No regular inspections are required.
The FireBag protects homes supplied with natural gas from their gas utility, as well as homes that use propane gas tanks. Gas utilities may install a FireBag at the meter to shut off gas supply to the entire house.
Available in West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee.
