solanoid on gas pipe

[billybob150811]

been asked to help a dementia suffer as there carer wants the gas pipe turned off overnight my only thought was an electrically operated solenoid has anybody done this or has anyone any other thoughts

 

[Last Plumber]

have you given any thought to the gas being switched back on ?

How would you prove its sound .

Eg
Hob turned on and left on during the night. ( if no flame failure )

There are proving devices/systems available but you need to look into suitability for your situation. The only ones I've used have been in commercial situations and more for commercial catering or fire safety shut offs.

I hope I'm making sense

Normally closed solenoid and a key lock off switch / emergency press button

I was thinking a normally closed powered open valve which I have taken out before when the landlord and tenants supply were separate but I haven't fitted one I was wondering if anyone had fitted this type of thing in this situation and had any feed back on this

Not in this type but in a small family centre to stop people messing / leaving them on

I have recently fitted one in a family home, youngest lad was hyper, would get up at night and turn on the gas, fitted normally closed and key switch where both parents had regime for locking. Solenoid was within a metre of appliance, key switch in cupboard.

Nic simple job, got to look for something now for another kiddie who gets up puts the plug in basin and bath then turns taps on.

Get rid of the plug / hard wire them in ?

Have a look at these mate, I have fitted one quite a few years ago for a dementia sufferer who would turn the taps on full whack in the middle of the night. It only stops when the bath starts to overflow though.
