What is a "cutoff"?
A cutoff is a device, such as a valve or gate, that controls or stops the flow of liquids or gases within pipes or channels. It is typically used to regulate, block, or shut off the flow when necessary, ensuring safety or managing the system's operation. Cutoffs are commonly installed in pipelines to prevent leaks, maintain pressure, or carry out maintenance without disrupting the entire system. They help control the flow by either completely stopping it or adjusting it to a desired level.
