Shear valves for safety in LPG Autogas Dispensers

Shear valves provide a critical safety functionality in LPG Autogas dispensers where they ensure a complete bi-directional shutoff of gas in case of impact or dislodgement. 

Product description

Shear valves, also known as fire and crash valves, are required to be installed at the bottom of an LPG Autogas dispenser to prevent leakage and explosions in the event of a fire or if impacted by a car.
