Gas and Water Shut off Valve Wrench

This is the perfect tool to shut off the water or gas valve in an emergency situation like an earthquake or a raging chemical fire. The use of ordinary tools in a highly flammable situation may generate a spark. This 4 in 1 tool is made of Non-sparking material, designed by a professional fireman. Use as a Pry Bar, Hammer, Axe or Valve Wrench (for Water and Gas). It only takes 1/4 of a turn of the valve to shut off the utility line. Periodically check the valves by turning it 1/8 of a turn. Apply and let soak with a penetrating lubricant to ensure proper operation. Keep debris and bushes trimmed around the valve areas for easy access. To check for gas leaks, formulate a mixture of 1 part dish soap and 1 part water. Apply to joints and valves with a sponge or a bottle sprayer for hard to reach areas. Applying the soap mixture with a sponge, will give you some (smaller) bubbles. A good indication you have a gas leak is when bubbles blow up and then pop, similar to blowing chewing gum.

Natural gas is colorless and odorless. A chemical odorant is added, making the presence of gas detectable. If you smell gas in your home:

Put out all open flames including pilot lights on stoves and heaters.

Do not light matches or lighters.

Do not attempt to turn on electric switches, thermostats or appliance controls. They may cause sparks.

Open windows and exterior doors to ventilate.

If the odor is strong, don't use your cell phone or telephone. Make the call outside your home or from your neighbor's phone.

Call your local utility company.

Universally fits standard household/commercial gas and water valves.
