Our Platform of Natural Gas Solutions

Intelligent commercial and residential products that work together to keep you safe.

Detect and Protect with High Quality Components

The Lorax Systems intelligent safety shutoff platform incorporates reliable technologies, like zero-leak valves and sensor communication devices, to detect and protect against unforeseen conditions. It can act instantly to stop the flow of gas when conditions change, preventing catastrophic incidents. Plus, the cloud software allows our users to quickly understand the status of any installed device and respond to conditions remotely.

Lorax Systems Meter Valves & Riser

Equipped with both automatic and remote capabilities, our smart systems recognize and prevent accidents before they cause damage.

High-Pressure 1 ¼” Valve

High-Pressure 1 ¼” Valve

The meter valve is a normally closed IOT mechanical gas valve, suitable for high pressure services from 20 psi to 175 psi. Installed at the head 
of the service, upstream of the meter-set assembly, the meter valve provides automatic and remote shut-off services and disconnect. The meter valve is designed to exceed ASME B16.33.

Low-Pressure 1 ¼” Valve

Low-Pressure 1 ¼” Valve

The meter valve is a normally closed mechanical gas valve, suitable for services from 0 psi to 175 psi. Installed at the head of service, upstream of the meter-set assembly. Provides automatic and remote shut-off services. Designed to exceed ASME B16.33.

Service Valve

Service Valve

Our service valve is an intelligent safety shutoff device that halts the flow of gas in the event of a breach in the service line. It is installed at the distribution line as a replacement or alternative for a natural gas service. Valve operation is 100% mechanical and normally closed.  The valve will only open if the valve and piping are installed correctly. LineGuardianTM technology closes the valve within seconds, if a small leak or complete rupture of the line or riser is detected. Compatible with standard electrofusion couplings and other traditional PE connection means. 

Lorax Systems Cloud Software

The Lorax Systems Cloud Software provides the user interface, data storage, alarm conditions, a map to visualize the location of devices, the ability to respond to events, alarms, notifications, and the ability to issue a remote disconnect command.

Communication Module

Communication Module

The communication module provides the link between the Cloud Software and the Valves. It receives data from the Valve and the local sensors / switches and sends data to the management application via an encrypted LTE-M or LoRaWAN network connection. The communication can support any network to enable the Lorax platform and unique shut-off technology. 

Level Switch

Level Switch

Typically installed in the basement of a customer premise, the level switch can detect water ingress and shut off the flow of gas. It’s directly wired to a Meter Valve (closing the Meter Valve can also help protect utility infrastructure from being back-feed with water).

Sensor/Switch Interface

Sensor/Switch Interface

The communications module supports both wired switches and wireless sensors. These devices and be configured to shut down the flow of gas in the event of an incident.
