A pressurized gas vessel port assembly incorporating a wall; a port extending through the wall; a nipple extending inwardly from the wall and having a hollow bore communicating with the port; a plug received within the hollow bore for movement between first and second positions, the plug residing at an inner end of the nipple at the first position and being displaced outwardly from the first position upon movement toward the second position; a venturi port opening the first nipple's hollow bore, the venturi being positioned outwardly from the first position for inducing an outward flow of the gas within the hollow bore; and incorporating a seat which outwardly overlies the venturi port, the seat being fitted for, upon a completion of the outward movement of the plug toward the second position, annularly contacting the plug and staunching the outward gas flow.

A water leak detection and prevention device comprised of a leak detection apparatus positioned near a water-dependent appliance to monitor for moisture due to a leak, and a leak prevention system connected to the leak detection apparatus in fluid communication with a water pipe attached to the water-dependent appliance and positioned in-line with the water pipe is disclosed.

The present invention is a water conservation safety shut-off valve assembly for use on locations which normally have intermittent water usage but need to indicate when there is constant water usage, such as a leak. The valve assembly has a valve body with a fluid pathway and a valve plug held in an open position allowing water to flow through the pathway. As water flows through the pathway, a sensing device detects water flowing through the pathway and starts a timer. The valve closes the pathway, stopping the flow of water through the valve assembly when the time elapses. The valve assembly indicates whether the valve plug is in an open or closed position.
