Abstract:
A solenoid gas meter mounting bracket valve may be used to shut down the flow of fuel, such as natural gas, to a building. The solenoid valve may be incorporated with the gas meter bracket, as a single unit. This configuration may be safer and more secure than a separate valve, which may be damaged when installed at the exterior of the building. The solenoid gas meter mounting bracket valve may not only secure the gas meter, for example, but may also be the solenoid valve for controlling the fuel flow. The solenoid valve may be closed from signals received from various detectors located, for example, in the structure and in the ground, do detect carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, radon, air quality, and the like.
