GasStop will completely (100%) and automatically shut off the supply of propane in the event of a major leak or catastrophic regulator failure. The excess flow valve is essentially a spring-loaded cylinder that acts only if the flow is over 200,000 BTUs/hr. If the flow is over this amount, the valve is triggered and stops 75-90% of the propane flow. So, what about the remaining 10-25% that is not stopped? This propane still flows and can quickly fill the RV up if there is a major leak, so it does not offer the level of protection needed in RVs.
For an increased level of propane monitoring, we recommend the Mopeka Propane Monitor. The Mopeka Propane Monitor is a sensor that monitors the level of propane you have remaining in your tanks and shows it on a phone app, so you never have to run out of propane in the middle of the night again! It is simple to install the heavy-duty magnetic monitoring device on your propane tank, and the app shows you your current propane level in the tank, with updates every 5 minutes.
GasStop can be used with any automatic or manual changeover gas pressure regulator, as long as it is rated at 1.5kg/h and up to 20” W.C. You’ll need to install a GasStop on each tank attached to the changeover device so both tanks are protected.
In addition to shutting your propane off in the event of a major leak, the GasStop device can be used to check for minor leaks in your RV. It’s a simple process and takes only 5 minutes. This is something you could do every time you set up your RV to ensure nothing happened within your propane system while traveling. We provide detailed instructions on how to do a leak test in the Learning Series you receive after purchase.
