The function of the Pipelife Gas-Stop™ is characterized by two main features:
In the event of damage to the pipe installation from the main line up to the pressure regulator – e.g. due to excavator work – the Pipelife Gas-Stop™ units integrated in the system close automatically and in fractions of a second, as soon as the defined limit for flow rate is exceeded. In contrast to this, in all cases the Pipelife Gas-Stop™ remains secured in the open position during normal operation, i.e. at the defined maximum nominal consumption of the gas customers. Faults in normal operation are excluded.
