When a water heater tank fails, the WAGS valve:
Shuts off the water supply
Shuts off gas on gas-fired heaters
Round-the-clock peace of mind!
Prevents costly water damage
Alleviates related gas safety concerns
Minimizes inconvenience
WAGS stands for Water And Gas Safety valve. The WAGS valve is designed
to shut off the water supply (plus gas supply for gas-fired heaters)
in the event of a water leak from a hot water heater, thus minimizing
water damage and possible gas leakage. The valve can be installed
on all styles of water heaters. The valve is fully mechanical and
requires no external power supply.
Your water heater will eventually fail
and leak! Most water heaters fail within 7-10 years. That’s
about 5 million tank failures EVERY year. Without a WAGS valve,
a leaking tank keeps refilling-
and leaking. The WAGS prevents disastrous floods and untold damage
to your property.
The WAGS sits in a drip pan under the
water heater and is activated when leaking water accumulates to
a level of ¾" in
the pan. Once activated the valve shuts off the water and gas supply,
indicated by a red pop-up tab.
