An emergency shut-off valve assembly with an automatic valve actuation assembly, the emergency shut-off valve assembly comprising: a valve body having an interior portion; a closure member disposed at least partially within an interior portion of the valve body, the closure member adapted to be rotated between a first open position and a second closed position; a rotatable shaft coupled to the closure member; a biasing member; a handle coupled to the shaft; a support bracket secured to the handle; a securement member coupled to a portion of the support bracket; an electromagnet adapted to generate a first magnetic force in a first state and a second magnetic force in a second state, the first magnetic force being greater than the second magnetic force, characterized in that the securement member has the shape of a disc that is symmetrical about a center axis and the electromagnet has the shape of a cylinder that extends along a longitudinal axis, wherein in the first state, the center axis of the securement member is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the electromagnet and a contact surface of the securement member is in contact with and magnetically coupled to a contact surface of the electromagnet such that the closure member is maintained in the first open position against a force provided by the biasing member acting on the shaft and the closure member, and wherein in the second state the closure member is moved into the second closed position by the force provided by the biasing member acting on the shaft and the closure member; wherein a rotation of the handle rotates the closure member from the second closed position to the first open position and moves the contact surface of the securement member into contact with the contact surface of the electromagnet. a valve body having an interior portion; a closure member disposed at least partially within an interior portion of the valve body, the closure member adapted to be rotated between a first open position and a second closed position; a rotatable shaft coupled to the closure member; a biasing member; a handle coupled to the shaft; a support bracket secured to the handle; a securement member coupled to a portion of the support bracket; an electromagnet adapted to generate a first magnetic force in a first state and a second magnetic force in a second state, the first magnetic force being greater than the second magnetic force, characterized in that the securement member has the shape of a disc that is symmetrical about a center axis and the electromagnet has the shape of a cylinder that extends along a longitudinal axis, wherein in the first state, the center axis of the securement member is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the electromagnet and a contact surface of the securement member is in contact with and magnetically coupled to a contact surface of the electromagnet such that the closure member is maintained in the first open position against a force provided by the biasing member acting on the shaft and the closure member, and wherein in the second state the closure member is moved into the second closed position by the force provided by the biasing member acting on the shaft and the closure member; wherein a rotation of the handle rotates the closure member from the second closed position to the first open position and moves the contact surface of the securement member into contact with the contact surface of the electromagnet.
