Due to an idiot with roof access, there was a gas smell for three blocks downwind.
It would be more effective if it were made of metal.
I mounted it on a 3/4" pipe, which should have been sufficient according to the instructions. The wings, on the other hand, do not grip the pipe and valve tightly enough, allowing for a great deal of movement. As a result, the ball valve handle can still be turned - almost to the point of complete openness (probably around 75% or so) and if enough friction in the valve body it even stays open. This is a total squander of funds - gives you absolutely no security.
The water ball valve is a perfect fit. It's a deterrent, but it's made of plastic, and it can be broken if someone really wants to get rid of it.
These ball valve lockouts help you stay in compliance with OSHA's hazardous energy control regulations. It can also be used to prevent unauthorized valve operation in public areas. A simple precaution to take.
Because the water pipe is too close to the wall, the device is unable to close.
