Prioritising Gas Safety With Flame Failure Devices  

While gas appliances have proven to be a convenient and efficient way for heating and cooking purposes your home, it’s important to prioritise safety when using gas. Flame failure devices are a crucial safety feature that automatically shut off the gas supply when the flame goes out, preventing dangerous gas leaks. In this article, you will learn more about flame failure devices, how they work for different gas appliances and why they are essential for your safety. 

What is a flame failure device? 

A flame failure device also known as FFD, is a key feature in your gas appliances which enhances safety and prevents possible injury. It prevents gas flow to the burner when the flame goes out. For whatever reason that the flame may be going out, it’s important that the flow of gas is stopped immediately. For example in a gas hob, the flame failure device is part of the gas burner system that ensures that the fuel supply to the gas appliance is cut off immediately should the flame go out for any reason or becomes unstable. The flame failure device is responsible for shutting off the gas supply in your burners if the flame is extinguished for any reason.  

How does it work? 

Flame failure devices are essential safety features in gas appliances. They automatically stop gas flow when the flame goes out, preventing potential hazards. This is important because flames can be extinguished due to various reasons such as liquid spills, gas supply interruptions, or excessive gas pressure. It’s important to always replace your flame failure device as soon as it becomes faulty or stops working because your gas appliances will be unsafe to use.
