Radiant heating system, old installation, using baseboards, using Peerless MI series boiler.
Want to ask for advice, would this idea work:
To increase safety level in case the main gas valve will get stuck open (this can happen) to install an additional solenoid, normally closed gas valve. For example Honeywell V8295A1016:

That gas valve can be installed inside the boiler case, wired to an auxiliary 24VAC transformer (can be installed out or inside) through a few additionally installed rollout thermo switches or even a thermo switch with 250F trip point on the boiler supply side pipe.
In case the main gas valve gets stuck, temperature starts raising, the aux valve will cut the gas.
Is this an acceptable installation/modification?
