Abstract:
A compact, automatic mechanical fluid shut-off device which can detect a sustained leak in a pipe as well as a pipe burst and automatically shuts off fluid flow in the pipe. The device is detachable, easy to install, and easy to retrofit into existing pipes. The device employs a unique combination of bias mechanism and fluid flow channels to achieve an automated method of stopping a fluid flow when there is an abnormal fluid flow in the pipe due to pipe burst or sustained leak.
