Gas Stop

One common cause of gas leaks is damage to service lines which occurs during underground construction work. Manipulation or improper handling within the building (in the area up to the shut-off valve or the pressure regulator) have also led to accidents in the past. Pipelife Gas-Stop was developed together with gas supply companies and is designed to prevent such leaks.

In the event of damage or improper handling in the line system between the main line and the pressure regulator, the Pipelife Gas-Stop installed in the system automatically closes in a raction of a second immediately upon exceeding of the preset flow value.

For example, the flow of gas will be shut-off in the event that the gas supply line suffers as little as 5 -15% cross-sectional damage.


Pipelife Gas-Stop is now in use by more than one hundred gas supply companies in Europe with excellent success. In hundreds of instances, gas leaks have been prevented after excavation work or improper handling.

A summary of the experience gathered by the users has highlighted three key advantages of the Pipelife Gas-Stop safety unit:

    		• Added safety due to the prevention of gas leaks resulting from excavation work or improper handling in the area up to the pressure regulator.
    		• No leakage of gas from the time the leak is reported until the repair personnel arrive on the scene, which eliminates the risks for all parties involved.
    		• Repairing gas leaks often causes significant disturbances for the public, which is detrimental to the marketing activities of gas supply companies. Repair of damage to lines fitted with Pipelife Gas-Stop units does not require repair activities which disturb the public.
