gas shutoff
Pipeline safety control
A gas shutoff is a valve that stops the flow of natural gas to a building or appliance.
Every gas-powered home has a main shutoff, typically near the meter, that cuts supply to the entire structure.
Individual appliances have their own shutoffs nearby.
Knowing the shutoff location matters in emergencies: We found the gas shutoff behind the stove.
