Daryo
: the "flow of acid" could be continuous, not an acid. My understanding of the source text is not that the acid keeps flowing all the time, only that you can't stop it in emergency.

Just an educated guess, but makes a lot sense to me.
acide sans arrêt / avec arrêt
acid hazard, no safety valve / with safety valve
The only way to stop a flow of liquid in an emergency is a valve.
Warning signs always contain the word "hazard" i.e. "chemical hazard" – depending on the style of the rest of the list of hazards, it could be omitted.

Pronunciation

Noun
arrêt m (plural arrêts)
1. stopping, checking, arrest (in development, growth, machinery etc.)
2. stop (place)
3. (law) judgment, ruling
