WAGS VALVE FUNCTIONS INDEPENDENTLY OF EXTERNAL ENERGY SOURCES.
HOW THE WAGS VALVE WORKS
The fundamental innovation of the WAGS Valve lies in its purely mechanical operating principle. Unlike electronic leak detection systems that require batteries, electrical power, Wi-Fi connectivity, or software integration, the WAGS Valve functions independently of external energy sources.

During normal operation, the valve remains inactive. However, if a leak develops and water accumulates within the pan to a predetermined level, a water-sensitive activation component initiates the shut-off sequence.
This action releases a spring-loaded internal piston that immediately closes the incoming cold-water supply to the water heater. On gas-fired systems equipped with the appropriate WAGS model, the valve also interrupts the gas supply, enhancing overall safety.
activation occurs, providing a clear signal that the valve has operated and the water heater system requires inspection and service.
