Slam-Shut Valve (SSV) -- Natural Gas Emergency Safety Shut-Off

Technical Datasheet -- Over-Pressure and Under-Pressure Safety Shut-Off Device

Document No.SV-DATA-SSV-001
RevisionA
DateMay 2026
ManufacturerSupreme Valves India, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

Slam-shut valves (SSV) are emergency safety shut-off devices for natural gas distribution and transmission pipelines. They automatically close the gas flow upon detection of over-pressure or under-pressure conditions, protecting downstream equipment and personnel. The self-contained mechanical trip mechanism requires no external power, instrument air, or control system.
