Abstract:
1. An apparatus for preventing electrically induced fires in gas tubing, comprising: (a) a sensor mechanism for detecting electrical insults to a gas tubing system; (b) an automated gas cut-off system that stops the flow of gas from a gas feeder pipe to the gas tubing system in response to a detection of an electrical insult by the sensor mechanism, wherein said automated gas cut-off system comprises a two-way valve configured between the gas feeder pipe and the gas tubing system, said two-way valve having a first position, which fluidly connects the gas feeder pipe to the gas tubing system; and a second position, which fluidly blocks the gas feeder pipe from the gas tubing system and fluidly connects the gas tubing system to open air.
