When discussing thermal shutoff valves on kitchen gas supplies, it's important to differentiate between standard manual shutoff valves and thermally activated shutoff valves. Here's a breakdown: Standard Manual Gas Shutoff Valves: These are typically installed near gas appliances like stoves and ovens.   Their purpose is to allow for manual shutoff of the gas supply for maintenance or in case of a leak.   They are manually operated, meaning someone must physically turn the valve to shut off the gas.   Thermally Activated Gas Shutoff Valves: These are designed to automatically shut off the gas supply in the event of a fire.   They work by using a heat-sensitive component that triggers the valve to close when a certain temperature is reached.   These valves add an extra layer of safety by preventing gas from fueling a fire.   An example of these types of valves are shown above . (once tripped the valve must be replaced)  These are designed to close the gas supply in situations where flexible gas lines may fail due to high temperatures.   They are a very good extra safety measure. Key Considerations: Safety: Thermal shutoff valves significantly enhance safety by automatically stopping gas flow during a fire.   Installation: Gas line installations should always be performed by qualified professionals. Commercial kitchens: Commercial kitchens have very stringent regulations regarding gas shutoff valves, due to the high volume of gas used in those environments. In summary, while standard manual shutoff valves are common and often required, thermally activated valves provide an added layer of protection in fire situations.
