What are customers saying about this product?

After replacing over 1,000 cracked Febco ball valves on Febco 765 devices in the sprinkler industry, I figured there has to be a better solution for the customer. And now there is!

 After performing 350 freeze tests on   various ball valves, we have found the   Apollo industrial brass ball valve to be   the best built, heaviest by weight,   thickest valve body with the toughest   seals compared to all the rest. Apollo   truly makes a quality ball valve at the   industrial level.
​ That being said, without some measure   of freeze protection to relieve the   internal force of expansion from   freezing water, there still will be some   damage. Damage to the PTFE seals,   warpage of the brass body, and   eventually, total structural failure as   seen here.

Febco ball valves are the most popular brand installed in Denver area. I000's of febco valves are replaced every year from cracking. Besides FEBCO BALL VALVES, Watt's, Apollo &  Wilkin,s also crack the same way Febco ball valves crack.
Freezing Water produces 114,000 psi of pressure. It's not if, but when you will be replacing your freeze-damaged febco ball valve, and febco bonnet & popit kit. Cracked febco valves are a cash cow for Febco. Repairing freeze damaged febco ball valves are also a good income stream for sprinkler repair companies.

Types of Cold Weather Ball Valves
  • Freeze Resistant Ball Valve: A ball valve that has thicker walls to help resist freeze damage in a mild freezing situation. This valve cannot prevent freeze damage, just delay it. Febco ball valves on irrigation back flow devices are always vulnerable to freezing and cracking. 
 
  • Frost Resistant ball valve: Similar to Freeze Resistant Ball Valve- A ball valve that has thicker walls to help resist freeze damage in a mild freezing situation. This valve cannot prevent freeze damage, just delay it.
 
  • Freeze Tolerant Ball Valve: A Patented Freeze Tolerant Ball Valve can actually tolerate the freeze. It is designed with a freeze plug incorporated in the side wall to provide an escape for expanding ice. A ball valve in the closed position traps water in the center chamber of the valve body by design. Whenever water is left in this area during a freeze, it has no place to expand, and will warp &/or crack the valve body. Water is also trapped in the outer area of the valve body between the ball and valve side while in the open position. In most cases this volume of water is not enough to do any damage.
  • A true "Freeze Proof Valve" doesn't really exist. One can only provide a means of relief as Ice exerts 114,000 psi of force.
Do dropping temperatures send your blood pressure through the roof? Do you have nightmares of bursting sprinkler pipes and flooding as the mercury dips below freezing? Now, you can put those fears to rest by installing the newly Patented Freeze Tolerant Ball valve. The perfect Febco ball valve replacement.

We’re proud to offer an amazing freeze resistant ball valve that’s designed specifically for cold weather conditions. Our frost proof valve tolerates freeze-ups and is designed to provide an easy fix in the unlikely event that a freeze-up happens. Unlike Febco ball valves, ours are designed with a replaceable freeze plug, our freeze proof ball valves are protected by a sacrificial disk; all you have to do is simply replace the freeze plug if it ruptures. It’s now possible for you to protect your ball valves where ever they are installed, whether it’s an irrigation system, or an industrial mining site or a Power Plant. No more costly down time for valve replacements. The Freeze Tolerant Ball Valve Company has you covered with our freeze tolerant ball valves.1/2 inch  up to a 4 inch ball valve size! Replace your Febco valves, Apollo Valves, with the valve engineered to freeze with out self destructing.

Freeze Tolerant Ball Valve Co. has conducted years of research to determine the problem with traditional ball valves. After pinpointing the exact weakness, we’ve come up with a perfect solution in the cold weather valves we offer. We subjected both traditional, ( febco ball valves etc.) and freeze tolerant valves with unbreakable freeze plugs to more than 10,000 psi to see where the frost proof valve will ultimately fail. We then reinforced that area of potential failure to build a better freeze tolerant ball valve that will last many years of freezing conditions. Size range: 1/2 inch ball valve  to 4 inch ball valve.

The freeze resistant ball valves we offer have double the wall thickness of regular febco brand ball. In the event of freeze damage due to improper draining over the winter, the freeze plug will act as the sacrificial disk, thus enabling a quick repair by changing out the freeze plug, or simply remove the plug for winter to ensure complete draining.


Stop throwing your money away on OEM Febco Ball Valves that self-destruct when the temperature drops. Insist on frost proof valves when replacing your existing cracked ones. You’ll never worry about your ball valves freezing up again. Don’t be left out in the cold. Order yours today for all of your cold weather ball valve needs @ www.FreezeProofValve.com
