Domestic water supply fuses.

Some around but inexplicably rare.
Mine have saved a house flooding which is a terrible event if house is unoccupied at the time.

Very simple in design. A half ball is held off a seat by a spring. Excessive flow drags half ball down on to seat for a complete cut off. Turn off tap upstream and fuse resets.

I would like to be the Aussie distributor.

Great to hear that hydraulic fuses are becoming the norm in aircraft systems.
