| Company information
Gas Shut-Off activates when ambient temperatures reach 203 to 212 F. The FireBag thermo activated shut-off device has a metal alloy that keeps the plug and cartridge together. When it melts, the spring pressure pushes the plug against the gas opening to close it completely. Once triggered, the shut-off device works up to 1,697 F for one hour. No fire or heat detectors are required to automatically intercept gas flow.
