Uncapped Natural Gas Lines & Valves

Are your electric appliances hiding something?

As part of the Home Safety Program, we have partnered with ATCO Gas to address the problem of uncapped natural gas lines and valves in the home.

Even if you don't currently use a natural gas oven or clothes dryer, the previous home owners or occupants may have. Uncapped natural gas lines or valves can occur when someone who is not familiar with natural gas safety removes a natural gas appliance and does not replace it with a new appliance or properly seal the unused connecting point.

Open lines and uncapped valves can be extremely dangerous as they can allow natural gas to leak into your home. Although it is non-toxic (not poisonous), it is highly flammable.

It's important that you inspect your home for uncapped natural gas lines and valves. Please review the information ATCO Gas provides to find out what to look for.
