You hit the nail on the head on the head on the application:thumbsup:. The valves would have been mechanically operated, but since the system was installed on a 20 year old kitchen hood, the place where the gas shutoff valves had to be located made electric valves the only option. So when a power outage happens (which are few and far between) the control has to be reset and the pilots have to be relit. A power outage longer than 30 min. is very rare since the whole place is on a backup generator. So please note, the UPS is
not critically required but more for convenience.
