A redundant gas valve has two or three valve operators physically in series but wired in parallel with one another. This built in saftey feature allows any operator (pilot or main) to block gas from getting to the main burner.
EX: standing pilot, intermittent pilot, and direct burner are classified as redundant gas valves.

What do you do if a oxy-acetylene gas is leaking from welding bottles?
It depends on where the gas is leaking. If it is from the regulator connection sometimes just readjusting and tightening the grooved nut will stop the leak. Turn off the valve and remove the regulator. Check for dirt particles and damage to the seat and regulator bulb (the fat part that fits against the seat), open and close the valve quickly to blow out any loose particles, reattach the regulator. Check to see if the gas is still escaping. If it is, the regulator bulb or the valve seat may be damaged. All cylinders have a fuseable plug and if it is leaking from there evacuate the area immediately and call emergency personnel. If it is from the valve area you may be able to stop the leak by tightening the packing nut at the base of the valve stem. With the regulator attached open the cylinder valve slightly and tighten the packing nut. Check to see if this stops the leak. If immediate attempts fail, evacuate the area.

How do you prevent boiler explosion?
All boilers are made to a pressure specification and in most countries any pressure vessel over a certain size is required to be periodically inspected and pressure tested to ensure it is fit for purpose. In addition to being in sound condition, the boiler is also expected to have some form of pressure relief valve. This is of sufficient size to vent off excess pressure before it gets to an explosive situation. It is obviously important that the pressure of this device is set to a lower level than the ultimate pressure specification of the boiler. Even quite small boilers, like those in coffee makers need to be inspected. Some boilers are 'gas fired' such as home heating boilers. These have a device called a thermocouple that detects the flame and is linked to the gas valve. If the flame goes out, or the burner does not ignite when gas is released in the boiler, it will shut the gas off. Typically gas fired boilers have a number of devices that will shut off the gas in the event that something doesn't work. This means that if the gas supply pipe is in sound condition, the boiler itself cannot leak gas and cause an explosion.
Where is the mixing valve in the boiler?
Mixing valve usually for tempering domestic hot water.
In boiler feed water line whether a non return valve should precede or succeed the delivery valve of feed water pump?
In boiler feed water line the NRV is normally installed between Pump and stop valve if the line is short and an another NRV is installed at boiler entrance and after stop valve if the line is long or pump is 10 to 15 m away from the boiler.
What is an redundant gas valve.?
A redundant gas valve is a safety feature in a gas system where two valves are installed in series to ensure that gas flow can be shut off if one valve fails. This redundancy helps prevent gas leaks and potential hazards.
What is the reason for a furnace to go through all the systems of operations and the ignitor sparks but no gas?
Typically, it is going to be the gas valve. The system sends a 24 volt signal to the gas valve and it opens. I you are getting 24 vols to the gas valve and no gas, it will be the valve.

How do you remove concrete from a gas valve?
Your kidding me right; replace the valve.
How does a gas cylinder work?
The gas is entered through a valve (tube).Stating the obvious; it comes out from the valve,(tube) when opened.
What is valve turning diagram?
Valve turning diagram is a diagram that shows how to turn on and off gas. This is known as a gas meter.
How do you siphon gas from neon gas tank?

Why your gas fireplace smells like gas when it goes off?
On many gas valves, on top there is a threaded port labelled `VENT`. That is where the residual gas within the valve is released from when the valve closes.
Is it possible to bypass an electric gas valve on a gas fired boiler with a standing pilot and if so how?
Don't blow yourself up. Why would you want to do this? If the gas valve is bad, replace it. The answer is to "hard pipe" around the valve. lc
Can you buy and repace the diaphragm in your furnace gas valve?
No, you should replace the valve.
How do you change gas tank vent valve on 1994 BMW 325i?
The easiest way to replace the gas tank vent valve on 1994 BMW 325i is to replace the gas cap. The vent valve is attached to the gas cap and is easy to find through the dealerships or online.
Does rotating a gas valve on an indoor fireplace counterclockwise open or close the gas line?
All gas fireplaces have to have a shut-off valve within 10' and that will turn so the key or the handle is parallel to leave gas on and perpendicular to turn gas off. The valve inside the fireplace turns but not indiscriminately. The inner valve will turn to the pilot setting and depress to light the pilot. Once the pilot os stable the knob will un-depress and turn to the On position. For a manual valve this will turn on the gas flow to the main burners. If using a switch or remote turning the valve to On leaves the fireplace valve in a Ready position so the switch or remote will turn on the gas.
