Models M2582-P 
and M5180-P 

Pneumatically Open and Shut Off  Fuel Gas 
Automatically or Semi-automatically

Pneumatic Control Pressure Can Be 
Air, Gas or Oil

Models for 2 in. or 1 in. (51 mm or 
25 mm) Fuel Gas Lines

Description

The M2582-P and M5180-P are pneumatical-
ly controlled fuel shut-off valves that open
and close automatically or semi-automatical-
ly. The pneumatic control pressure can be air,
oil or gas. A manual lever aids in opening the
valve when control pressure is insufficient. A
gas escape vent, when properly vented and
maintained, releases trapped gas from the
valve after shutoff. 

Basic Operation

Automatic:

As the control pressure/vacuum

increases the valve will open. When the control
pressure/vacuum decreases, the valve will close. 

Semi-Automatic:

If the control pressure/vacuum

is too low and the valve does not open automat-
ically, it can be opened manually by lifting the
built-in lever arm and setting the latch. The
latch resets automatically when control pressure
rises enough to release it. 

M2582-P

is for 1 in. (25 mm) gas lines. It auto-

matically opens at 2 psi (14 kPa) [.14 bar] and
fully opens the seat at 3 psi (21 kPa) [.21 bar].
The valve can be manually opened with the
lever and latch against inlet pressure of 80 psi
(552 kPa) [5.52 bar]. The latch will release after
pilot pressure reaches 2.5 psi (17 kPa) [.17 bar].

The M5180-P

is for 2 in. (52 mm) gas lines.

It automatically opens at 2 psi (14 kPa) [.14

bar] and fully opens the seat at 3 psi (21 kPa)
[.21 bar]. The valve can be manually opened
with lever and latched against inlet pressure
of 100 psi (689 kPa) [6.89 bar]. The latch will
release after pilot pressure reaches 2.5 psi (17
kPa) [.17 bar].
