HaloValve is the only natural gas safety breakaway that helps to instantly reduce the hazards caused by gas meter impact damage.
Natural gas supply lines are exposed and vulnerable at the meter, and can easily be broken by impact from vehicles, landscape equipment, falling snow and ice, and more-often leading to a catastrophic incident.
When concrete or steel bollards are used to protect gas meter piping from damage, these often only provide nominal protection. In many cases, the bollards are actually the cause of the gas line rupture.
HaloValve is a patented breakaway valve installed to the riser where most breaks occur. Upon impact, HaloValve instantly seals the line, preventing the flow and accumulation of gas until the line can be repaired.
Designed to Work Where Meter Sets Fail
Because of their rigidity, gas risers and associated meter piping can easily break upon impact, causing dangerous leaks. HaloValve creates an intentional weak point in the meter set piping assembly, resulting in an engineered point that instantly self-seals.
5 Major Causes of Gas Meter Impact Leaks
Vehicle Impact
HaloValve is a patented breakaway valve installed to the riser where most breaks occur. Upon impact, HaloValve instantly seals the line, preventing the flow and accumulation of gas until the line can be repaired.
Negligence
Tractors and lawn mowers, items improperly stored near meters and other factors can damage gas lines.
Settlement
Over time, the settlement of the meter set puts stress on the pipes and compromises the connection.
Damaged Bollards
While designed to protect, when hit by a vehicle, bollards are often the objects that cause damage to gas meter sets.
Acts of Nature
Falling snow and ice, tree limbs, or impact caused from high winds can damage gas lines any time of day.
