The valve operator is powered by electricity, by the gas pressure in the pipeline, or by another power source. Automatically controlled valves are intended to provide timely closure whenever there is an abnormal pressure loss on the pipeline.
"Bureau" means the Bureau of Pipeline Safety in the Division of Reliability and Security, in the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.

"Gas" means the same as that term is defined at 49 CFR 192.3.
"Lower explosive limit" or "LEL" means the lower limit of the combustible range of gas concentration in the air that will burn in the presence of an ignition source. LEL is expressed as a percentage of the minimum concentration for the gas to ignite as measured by the operator's leak detection device.
"Main" has the meaning assigned to this term in the Federal code at 49 CFR 192.3. A main is a type of distribution line.

"Remotely controlled valve" means a valve that is operated by personnel from a location that is remote from where the valve is installed. The location is usually at the pipeline control or dispatching center. A remotely controlled valve consists of the valve itself and a valve operator that is attached to the valve to open or close it. The valve operator is powered by electricity, by the gas pressure from the pipeline, or by another power source. The communications linkage between the remote location and the remotely controlled valve may be by fiber optics, microwave, telephone lines, or satellite.
"Service line" has the meaning assigned to this term in the Federal code at 49 CFR 192.3. A gas service line is a type of distribution line.
