A new gas safety product has been developed to help save the dozens of Kiwis injured or killed in gas cylinder accidents every year.
The Gas Safety Gauge which was engineered in New Zealand connects between the gas cylinder and appliance hose & regulator. When it detects a sudden change in pressure, it automatically shuts off the gas - preventing injury to those around it should a major leak occur.
Black & Stone Managing Director Graham Brake who manufactures the product says there has been 29 fatalities and 411 injuries in New Zealand from LPG cylinder accidents in the past 16 years and this number is increasing annually.
