GASAV-R WA-3 Mechanical 1/2" IPS Automatic Gas Shut-Off Timer Valve — 0–60 min, Non-Electric Safety

The GASAV-R WA-3 is a mechanical, non-electric 1/2" automatic gas shut-off and timer valve that stops fuel flow after up to 60 minutes to prevent wasted or unattended gas use.

Designed for outdoor cooking and heating appliances, the WA-3 mounts inline on 1/2" IPS gas lines to provide timed control without batteries or wiring. Set the dial for the desired run time — up to one hour — and when time elapses the valve returns to the closed position to halt gas supply. It’s a simple, fail-safe device that reduces the risk of leaving a grill, fireplace, or fire pit running unnecessarily.

How does the WA-3 prevent accidental gas waste?

The WA-3 uses a mechanical timing mechanism to automatically close the gas line once the preset interval finishes. Because it’s non-electric, it works reliably in outdoor conditions without power or connectivity.

• Manual dial adjustable from 0 to 60 minutes for flexible control
• Spring-return closure ensures valve shuts when time expires
• Non-electric operation avoids battery failures or wiring issues
• Designed for direct inline installation on 1/2" IPS fittings

Will this valve fit my grill, fireplace, or fire pit?

The WA-3 is built for standard 1/2" IPS (iron pipe size) gas connections, a common size for many residential appliances. Check your appliance or existing pipe thread to confirm compatibility before purchase.

• 1/2" IPS threaded ends match many propane and natural gas appliance connections
• Compact inline form factor fits tight spaces near control manifolds
• Ideal for retrofitting existing grills, outdoor kitchens, and fire features

How easy is installation and everyday use?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic gas fittings; always follow local codes and, if unsure, hire a licensed installer. Daily operation is as simple as turning the dial to the desired time before lighting the appliance.

• Threaded 1/2" IPS connections for simple plumbing attachment
• No electrical wiring or batteries required—just set and go
• Durable construction suited to outdoor environments and repeated use

What maintenance or safety checks are recommended?

Because the WA-3 is mechanical, periodic inspection and basic maintenance keep it performing well. Verify seals and threads are leak-free and operate the dial occasionally to prevent sticking, especially after long storage.

• Leak-test after installation using approved soap solution or a certified leak detector
• Inspect external seals and fittings annually or after heavy weather exposure
• Operate the timer occasionally during off-season storage to ensure mobility

Who this is for: The GASAV-R WA-3 is well suited for homeowners and outdoor cooking enthusiasts who want a low-maintenance, automatic way to limit how long gas appliances run. It’s a good choice for people who prefer non-electric safety solutions, need a straightforward retrofit for grills, fire pits, or patio heaters, and want to reduce wasted fuel caused by forgetting to turn off equipment. Always pair installation with proper gas-safety practices and local code compliance.
