What is the main supply on/off valve for the propane system called?

Gas relief valve
Service valve assembly
Shutoff valve assembly
Pressure regulator

The correct answer is: Service valve assembly

The main supply on/off valve for the propane system is referred to as the service valve assembly. This component plays a crucial role in controlling the flow of propane gas from the tank to the rest of the system. By allowing or restricting the flow, the service valve assembly is essential for safely starting or shutting down the propane system, particularly when maintenance or repairs are needed. This valve is typically located on the propane tank and is integral to ensuring that gas does not leak when the system is not in use, thus maintaining safety. Other components like the gas relief valve, shutoff valve assembly, and pressure regulator serve different functions. The gas relief valve is designed to release pressure if it becomes excessive, while the pressure regulator controls the pressure of the propane delivered to the appliances. The shutoff valve assembly, while similar, usually refers to valves used at specific points within the system rather than the main supply.
