gas valve
Fuel line regulator
A gas valve is a device that controls the flow of gas through a pipe or into an appliance.
The simplest versions are manual shutoffs—turn a lever to stop gas flow in an emergency or before repairs.
More sophisticated gas valves respond automatically to thermostats, timers, or safety sensors: The furnace's gas valve opens when the thermostat calls for heat.
Water heaters, stoves, and fireplaces all depend on gas valves to regulate fuel delivery.
