You receive a call in the middle of the night: there is a gas leak in your rental apartment. Every passing minute could be crucial, but you live on the other side of the city. Yet you remain calm, because a gas detector with shut-off valve is installed in the apartment, a system that not only detects danger but also acts automatically to neutralize it.
The gas detector kit with shut-off valve: safety in action
The recent decree on short-term rentals has made it mandatory to install a series of home safety devices, including detectors for gas leaks. But true protection goes beyond a simple alarm, and at Geca, we have made people's safety our mission.
This is why we have created the BETA Gas Safety KIT, an integrated system that combines a professional gas detector with an intelligent shut-off valve: an efficient barrier against the dangers of gas leaks.
From detection to action in milliseconds
At the heart of the system is a perfect duo: the BETA series gas detector, always attentive and precise, and the GAS GAS shut-off valve, which intervenes immediately to block the danger.
Installation (which must be carried out by specialized personnel) is simple: temporarily interrupt the gas flow; bring electrical power close to the tap; mount the shut-off valve connected to the detector; done.
Why does a gas sensor with a shut-off valve make a difference?
It’s true: the shut-off valve is not among the obligations set out in the "Short-term Rentals" decree. But when danger arises, every second can be decisive (and this is why, in some countries, the shut-off valve is mandatory): timely intervention to stop the gas leak is the only line of defense.
A sensor certainly does its part, instantly warning of the threat. But if the gas continues to escape, it endangers the entire building and its occupants with the risk of explosions.
The consequences of an uncontrolled gas leak
Every year, gas leaks cause thousands of domestic accidents, some with tragic outcomes. According to Fire Department data, over 1,500 gas-related explosions are recorded annually in Italy, causing significant property damage and serious safety risks for people.
Without an integrated system that acts automatically, before leaving the building, residents would have to worry about shutting off the gas supply, but these are precious seconds lost in getting to safety.
This is why every manager or owner of short-term rental apartments, to ensure maximum safety and peace of mind, should have an integrated system that autonomously and automatically shuts off the gas supply.
That’s exactly what a methane gas detector with shut-off valve like the BETA KIT does:
- detects the presence of gas with professional precision;
- reacts in milliseconds, automatically shutting off the gas flow;
- protects your property 24/7, even when no one is present.
The tangible benefits of an integrated gas protection set
- Smart savings: purchasing the complete kit (gas detector with shut-off valve) ensures a 13% saving compared to buying the components separately.
- Certified safety: unlike low-quality products that have flooded the market in the past, our kit boasts European certifications (Directive 2014/68/EU and Regulation 2016/426/EU), guaranteeing reliability and professional performance, as well as compliance with the "Short-term Rentals" decree.
- Minimal maintenance: the shut-off valve is designed for an extremely long lifecycle, with no maintenance required. Only the detector sensor requires a simple replacement every 5 years.
Not just for short-term rentals
Although the decree focuses on short-term rentals, requiring managers and owners to install these control devices, safety should never be an option.
The BETA KIT ensures protection in any private home with a gas system (for cooking or heating) and in any space where gas safety is a priority.
The difference between alarming and protecting
Home safety should never be seen as a mere regulatory requirement. Protecting lives and property is a responsible choice. Our kit doesn’t just sound an alarm: it’s like an invisible guardian, always ready to act, day and night.
Why settle for knowing there’s a danger when you can neutralize it instantly?

Note: The installation of the gas detector with shut-off valve must be carried out exclusively by qualified professionals in the plumbing and heating sector, who must always issue a certificate of compliance to guarantee a job done properly.
