A gas valve includes a gas valve body (10) having a first end (16) configured to be coupled to a gas connection and a second end (20). A keyed body (72, 86, 94, 106, 116, 130) is configured to receive the second end (20) of the gas valve body (10). The keyed body (72, 86, 94, 106, 116, 130) has a first keying mechanism (80, 90, 102, 112, 120, 136). The apparatus also includes a cap (70, 88, 96, 108, 118, 132) coupled to the keyed body (72, 86, 94, 106, 116, 130). The cap (70, 88, 96, 108, 118, 132) includes a second keying mechanism (82, 92, 104, 114, 128, 144) configured to mate with the first keying mechanism (80, 90, 102, 112, 120, 136) on the keyed body (72, 86, 94, 106, 116, 130). L'invention concerne un robinet de gaz qui comporte un corps (10) doté d'une première extrémité (16) prévue pour s'adapter sur un raccord, et d'une seconde extrémité (20). Une partie avec chemin de clavette (72, 86, 94, 106, 116, 130) est appariée à la seconde extrémité (20) du corps (10). La partie avec chemin de clavette (72, 86, 94, 106, 116, 130) comporte un premier système de clavetage (80, 90, 102, 112, 120, 136). L'ensemble est également muni d'un chapeau (70, 88, 96, 108, 118, 132) couplé à la partie avec chemin de clavette (72, 86, 94, 106, 116, 130). Le chapeau (70, 88, 96, 108, 118, 132) comporte un second système de clavetage (82, 92, 104, 114, 128, 144) qui épouse le premier système de clavetage (80, 90, 102, 112, 120, 136) sur la partie avec chemin de clavette (72, 86, 94, 106, 116, 130).
