Seismic Safety Solutions for Industrial and Commercial Applications

Safety-First Valve Solutions for Seismic Events

Earthquake valves are specialized safety devices designed to automatically shut off gas or fluid flow during seismic events. Also called earthquake shut off valves, seismic gas shut off valves, gas earthquake valves, seismic gas valves, or earthquake gas safety valves, these systems protect buildings, pipelines, and industrial equipment from damage caused by earthquakes or ground movement. At Valtorc International, we offer a full line of earthquake valves engineered for fast response, reliable operation, and compliance with safety regulations, ensuring critical infrastructure is protected when it matters most.

Engineered for Safety and Durability

Valtorc earthquake valves are engineered for safety, durability, and seamless integration:

  • Automatic Shut-Off: Detects seismic activity and stops gas or fluid flow immediately.
  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand pressure fluctuations and extreme conditions.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Works with a wide range of gas and fluid piping systems.
  • Low Maintenance: Designed for long-term reliability with minimal servicing.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meets safety codes and industry standards for earthquake protection.

Protecting Operations from Seismic Risk

Valtorc earthquake valves are trusted across industries where safety and rapid response are essential:

  • Commercial Buildings: Automatic gas shut-off to protect occupants and property.
  • Industrial Facilities: Safeguarding pipelines, equipment, and processing lines.
  • Residential Complexes: Protecting homes and apartments from seismic gas leaks.
  • Power Generation: Ensuring safe operation of turbines, boilers, and energy systems.
  • Oil & Gas Pipelines: Preventing uncontrolled flow during seismic events.

EARTHQUAKE VALVE

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an earthquake shut off valve?

An earthquake shut off valve automatically stops gas or fluid flow when seismic activity is detected, preventing potential damage or hazards.

How does a seismic gas shut off valve work?

A seismic gas shut off valve uses sensors or mechanical triggers to detect ground movement and immediately close the valve to stop flow.

Can earthquake valves be installed in existing systems?

Yes. Valtorc earthquake valves are compatible with most gas and fluid piping systems and can be retrofitted to enhance safety.

Are earthquake gas safety valves compliant with regulations?

Yes. Our earthquake gas safety valve products meet applicable building codes and safety standards for gas and fluid system protection during seismic events.
