shutoffs
Valves that halt
Shutoffs are devices or mechanisms that stop the flow of something, typically a utility like gas, water, or electricity.
The term also refers to the act of cutting off such a supply: The utility company sent notices before the shutoffs began.
A shutoff valve allows you to stop water flow to a specific fixture without affecting the rest of the house.
In broader use, shutoffs can describe any automatic or manual cessation of operation, as in safety systems designed to prevent damage or danger.
