1. INTRODUCTION
The FireBag automatically turns off gas
supply in the event of fire, preventing
explosions and the spreading of fire.
When outside temperature reaches
203˚F to 212˚F (95˚C to 100˚C) the metal
alloy that keeps plug and cartridge
together melts and the spring pressure
pushes the plug against the gas opening
to close it completely.
No fire or heat detectors are required to
automatically intercept gas flow.
2. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Thermal safety device, FireBag, as a
connection or with integrated interceptor
valve (GT2, G4T or R4T).
ASSEMBLING IS TO BE EXECUTED BY
AUTHORIZED COMPANIES ONLY.
Before installation read and follow the
installation instructions.
3. USAGE
The thermal safety device, FireBag,
shuts off automatically the flow of gas
in the instance of fire and is certified for
natural gas, city gas, and fluid gas I (in
gas form). It is manufactured according

4. INSTALLATION
1. Before installation, check that the device
has not gone off (check the integrity of
the shut-off device and the gas flow).
2. Protect the valve against dirt before
usage and during the installation.

place where nothing can disturb the
function of the FireBag thermal safety
device.
5. Use the correct wrench when installing.
6. Check the tightness of the valve and its
connection after installation.
