Series LF210-5 Lead Free* Automatic Gas Shutoff Valves are used in gas water heater applications to protect against overheating water in the domestic hot water supply heating system. It is an immersion-type valve that automatically shuts off the gas supply to the heater if the temperature reaches 210°F (99°C). It is a self-contained device that consists of Buna-N disc-to-metal seating, manual reset button to reopen the valve after an automatic shutoff, trip latch assembly, and stainless steel spring seats to close the valve at a controlled temperature. A thermostat with extension tube operates a trip latch in response to water temperature. Design certified by CSA. Models LFL210-5 M2 and LFLL210-5 M2 feature extended shanks for use with water heaters containing extra thick insulation up to 2 1/2 in.
