Baseline

Utility shutoff tool

A wrench or pliers that fits your home’s shutoffs.

Why it belongs in your home

Damaged utilities may need to be turned off if authorities or a qualified professional instruct you to do so.

What to look for

  • Correct fit for your actual valves
  • Non-sparking tool where required locally
  • Clear household instructions

Store and maintain it

Store near—but not on—the shutoff. Never turn gas back on yourself.
