American Flame: E-Stop Gas Timer
Model: ESTOP1-0H
Description The E-Stop Gas Timer is an emergency shut-off, mechanical timer, and manual shut-off gas valve
designed to be installed on the inlet side of a gas appliance to enable the user to control the time gas is allowed to ow
to a gas appliance. This is a mechanical timer (no batteries or power required) that has the ability to control gas ow for
1-hour (60 minutes) using the ESTOP1-0H model or 2.5-hours (150 minutes) using the ESTOP2-5H model. In addition,
both models have an emergency shut-off (red knob) that enables the user to quickly and easily shut the gas completely
OFF, should the need arise.
The E-Stop Gas Timer body is 4-inches high x 2 ⅞-inches wide x 2 ⅛ -inches deep and can replace a manual shut-off
valve and meet local code requirements as the accessible shut-off valve. It can be use for multiple applications (indoor
or outdoor) from gas re pits, gas grills, gas logs, gas torch lights, etc., wherever a shut-off valve is a requirement or a
specied by a customer.

Mounting
The E-Stop Gas Timer has the ability to be mounted from the side of the body, using the four (4) provided holes (two
mounting holes per side) or using the two mounting hole tabs at the top and bottom of the body when facing forward.
Each mounting hole uses 3/16 - 24 machine screws to secure it into position. Note: We recommend using stainless steel
screws for any outdoor applications. See Fig. 1 for details.

American Flame: E-Stop Gas Timer
Installation
The recommended installation position is up-right as
shown in Fig 2, view "D". It has two (2) inlet and two (2)
outlet gas connections. The diagrams below provide
possible ways to plumb the E-Stop (See Fig. 3). Two (2)
½” NPT plugs are provided with the E-Stop. Plug the inlet
and outlet connections not being used for the application.
Connect gas supply to the inlet with the arrow
pointing into the valve. Connect outlet side to the gas
appliance (See Figs. 2 & 3 for details).
NOTE: Conduct a gas leak test on the E-Stop Gas Timer
after plumbing is complete.
Operation
TO TURN ON
Step 1: Rotate the clear timer dial past 20 (ESTOP1-0H) or
past 0.5 (ESTOP2-5H) to set the time. Timer will begin “ticking”
when the dial is turned while the countdown time is set.
Step 2: Turn red knob clockwise (about a ¼ turn) until it pops
outward. Gas will now ow to enable you to light the appliance.
TO TURN OFF: Let timer expire or simply press red knob
inward until it stops. The red knob will lock down with a “click”
and stop gas ow. See Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 on following page.
Note: Do not force the timer dial to the OFF position after time
is set (This will weaken the spring inside the timer body and
affect the accuracy of the time).
Timer Dial:
Rotate clockwise to
start time. Adjust dial to
desired time frame.
Red Knob: Turn
clockwise and knob
will “pop” up to allow
gas flow.
