The device did not work at today’s 5.1 earthquake
My house installed this device 3 years ago. And today we had 5.1 magnitude earthquake. This device did not shutdown the gas pipeline. The house was shaking a lot. I jumped out of house. But this device is still on at green!

No longer working just 18 months after installation. It was tripped and doesn't reset no matter how many times I turn the reset valve. Need to buy a new one and pay for a licensed plumber to come out now, probably looking at $250 to replace when all is said and done.

Safety for the family
Typical plumbing skills required for installation. Excellent build quality. Should come with brace required in box, since it is required to do a complete install.
