Demonstrate ValveTest Valve in Box: Cut the packaging straps on the valve

base and meter cover. Remove gray trigger cover, leavetrigger mounted in box for testing.

Trigger will come in the Off Position. Before resettingtrigger, take the valve base and pull cable till it is fully

extended, to the point where the red knob slightly moves.This will stretch the cable and remove any kinks.

Stand the trigger, still mounted inside the packaging boxstraight up on level surface, using built in level on trigger

as a guide.

Take valve base out of the box and check that there are nokinks or crucial bends in cable. You will find out the mostdifficult part of the installation will be the bends in the

cable.


19/27

Reset Red Lever/Knob to the vertical position, turn counter clock-wise until it locks in place. Valvebase should be open at this time.

Move trigger as to modify a major earthquake. Thevalve base should trip and close, with significantmovement, stopping the flow of gas.

Reset the trigger, opening valve - Trip valve usingemergency push off-button, black button located ontop of the trigger. This should close the valve.

You are now ready for installation.

Testing the valve and trigger, continued:


20/27

Installation Tips Continued

Disconnect valve T base from plunger for easier

installation. (Disconnects at the bushing in 1 or larger

valve base, leaving plunger in tact with the bushing.)

Use the logic that the valve base has the same

dimensions as a 90 degree elbow and does not have to

be leveled or brace.

Forget it is a valve for now. Take into consideration the

clearance on the top of the plunger as to insure the bend

coming out is not too sharp to reduce tension.

About the Trigger, Cable and

Valve Base Materials

Our product has a 30 Year manufacturers Warranty.

Trigger is made out of ABS Plastic, the strongest mostdurable plastic in the industry, (stronger and more

durable than most metals).

A ultra violet, (U.V.) protection is added to preventfading and is rated at 75 years.


22/27


Valve Base Materials continued:

Cable is a solid nickel plated strand cable, with a

resin protection, to insure slick movement, then

wrapped with a metal protection for durability and

coated with our U.V. Protection Plastic.

If the cable cut intentionally or by accident the valve

will shut-off letting you know the damage has

occurred.


23/27


Valve Base Materials continued:Valve base is made out of brass for maximum durability and life

span.

Brass is approved for both gas and water. O rings are added

to prevent against leakage.

Sale the valve on the Technology and Emergency Push-Button

off for any gas emergencies such as fires or repairs.

No tools needed to turn gas off or on, making the Gas

Company shut off a thing of the past.

Cover snaps on and off for emergency access and is

aesthetically appealing. Color blends with the gas meter.

Ordinances Mandating

Earthquake Valve Installations:

Allstate Insurance currently mandates

Earthquake Activated Gas Shut-Off Valves

(EAGSV) in Earthquake Hazard Zones, such

as, San Francisco, Mendocino, Lake, Napa,Sonoma, Humboldt, Marin, Santa Clara,

Santa Cruz, Inyo, Mono, Contra Costa, Imperial,

San Mateo, Alameda, Alpine, and Los Angeles cities.

Additional counties that require the installation ofEAGSV are Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino,

Solano, Ventura, and Kern.


25/27



The City of Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Marin,Alameda, and Contra Costa counties mandate

EAGSV installation on all new buildings,

when pulling a building permit, or prior tothe close of escrow, upon the transfer of

ownership, or in any alteration of gas system.Yes, if you repair your roof, add on, remodel,

change title to or sell property, you must have anEarthquake Activated Gas Shut-off Valve Installed.


26/27



The Countries of Japan, Iran and Turkey have more

stringent mandates. Many other municipalities, states,

and countries are considering similarmandates which will open up our market even more.

In summary, this is a mandated product,

with mandates growing. Our product isthe most reliable, user friendly and

easiest to install in the industry today.
