ELECTRICAL GAS VALVES
The electrical gas valves are designed to shut off the flow of
either natural or LP gas to the appliances upon actuation of
the regulated release assembly. The valves are available in
sizes of 3/4 in., 1 in., 1 1/4 in., 1 1/2 in., 2 in., 2 1/2 in., and 3
in. The valve is held open by an energized solenoid and upon
system actuation, the switch contacts in the regulated release
assembly open, thus de-energizing the circuit to the gas valve
solenoid, causing the valve to close. Valves are available in 120
VAC and are UL Listed.

MANUAL RESET RELAY
The Manual Reset Relay (Part No. 426151) is required when
using an electrical gas valve shut-off system. After the electric
gas valve has closed, either due to system actuation or power
failure, the valve cannot be re-opened, allowing gas to flow,
until the reset relay button is manually pressed, re-energizing
the circuit. The reset relay is available 120 VAC. The manual
reset relay is also recommended for electrical shut down.

ELECTRICAL SWITCHES
The electrical switches are intended for use with electric gas
valves, alarms, contactors, lights, contractor supplied electric
power shut-off devices and other electrical devices that are
designed to shut off or turn on when the system is actuated.
Switches are available in kits: One Switch Kit (Part No. 423878),
Two Switch Kit (Part No. 423879), Three Switch Kit (Part No.
423880), and Four Switch Kit (Part No. 423881). Mounting
hardware and 24 in. (610 mm) long wire leads are provided with
each kit. A Two-Switch Assembly without wire leads (Part No.
436770) is also available. Each switch has a set of single-pole,
double-throw contacts rated at:
