Propane Tank Question
Is this true? ""Propane tanks have a safety valve that shuts if a gas line should break and allow full flow.""
Forum Discussion
Any legal cylinder today, which requires a OPD (overfill prevention device)valve, will shut off if there is a sudden increase in the flow, such as a broken line. The propane passes thru a very small orfice that will immediately freeze closed if the normal flow amount is suddenly exceeded.
This feature is just part of the OPD valve safety features.
