Little Firefighter LFVAGV-125HF Earthquake Vertical Valve

Product Description

The LITTLE FIREFIGHTER LFVAGV-125HF is a 1.25-inch earthquake vertical valve designed to automatically shut off gas flow during a seismic event. This type of valve is installed in vertical gas line orientations and activates when ground motion exceeds a set threshold, stopping gas flow to protect the downstream system from potential hazards. It is used in residential and light commercial gas piping systems and is typically installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in compliance with applicable local gas codes.

The LFVAGV-125HF is suited for natural gas and LP gas systems where seismic shutoff protection is required or mandated by local authority. Earthquake shutoff valves of this type are commonly specified in seismic zones where code or insurance requirements call for automatic gas shutoff devices on service entry lines or interior branch lines. Installation is typically part of a new construction gas rough-in or a retrofit seismic upgrade to an existing structure.

Key Features

• Automatic seismic shutoff activates on excess ground motion to stop gas flow
• Vertical orientation design for use in vertical gas line runs
• 1.25-inch pipe size fits standard residential and light commercial gas piping
• Provides passive protection without requiring manual intervention during a seismic event
• Suitable for use on natural gas and LP gas service lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style seismic shutoff valve for 1.25-inch vertical gas line applications in residential and light commercial gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local gas codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the main gas supply and verify zero pressure at the work point before beginning installation. The valve must be mounted in the vertical orientation as indicated by the directional marking on the valve body. After installation, perform a leak test with an approved leak-detection solution before restoring gas service.
