When installing a gas valve, it is always recommended that you first install a gas shut-off valve, which serves as a backup safety precaution that will shut off your gas completely if necessary. They close a line and stop the flow of gas when a pre-set condition occurs, such as excess flow, a pressure pulse from a broken line, or a temperature change from an idle burner. Most use a ball design with a metal ball on a pedestal that opens a valve, allowing gas to flow through. When a sufficient leak or shaking occurs, the ball drops from the pedestal, closing the valve and shutting off the flow of gas.
