Earthquake Valve - Valtorc Series EQ-1000 Valves

Do you have unmanned equipment in seismic zones? Engineers at ASME determined that pipes can break in the ground at 5.4 seismic rating and above (ASME 25-97). With the Seismic Smart Switch and Systematic controllers you are able to protect from spills, shut down or turn on equipment and communicate with your remote operation.

For home owners, broken water pipes as well as leaking gas pipes can be destructive.

Industrial plants have need for controls for CO, CO2, H2S, H2, O2, CH3, PH3, SO2, LPG, NATURAL GAS, OIL, and NUCLEAR in seismic events.

The Seismic Smart Switch is composed of an aluminum machined valve hanger, aluminum machined valve switch housing, proximity switch and the Little Firefighter (Valtorc Series EQ-1000)  ¾” NPT vertical, assembled and tested in a precise manner so that the proximity switch creates a signal when the stainless steel ball in the Little Firefighter is tripped by a seismic event of 5.4 or greater.
