Operating a Gas Shutoff Valve
Natural gas or propane shutoff valves are located near a major gas appliance such as a dryer or stove. To operate the shutoff valve proceed as follows:
- TURN OFF: Turn the valve handle so that it is perpendicular (right angle) to the inlet and outlet ends of the valve body.
- TURN ON: Turn the valve handle so that it is parallel (in-line) to the inlet and outlet ends of the valve body.
