Abstract

A water shutoff apparatus includes a housing and first and second valves located within the housing. The first and second valves are configured to be fluidly connected to an external appliance and an external first and second water supply lines that provide water at first and second temperatures to an appliance. The first and second valves include an open position, in which the water supply is enabled to supply the water to the appliance, and a closed position, in which the first water supply is prevented from supplying the water to the appliance. The first valve is independent from the second valve. At least one water sensor is electrically connected to the first and second valves. The sensor is operable between an inactivated state and an activated state when wet to activate the first and second valves to move into their closed positions.
