Freeze Tolerant Ball Valve Co. Offers Frost Proof & Severe Cold Weather Valves
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.

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

The Febco Ball Valve is famous for cracking in cold climates. The febco ball valve is found on FEBCO 765-1 backflow devices through out the country. Febco valves don't have any freeze protection designed in. The best solution for CRACKED febco ball valves is to change them out to ones with a freeze plug. Then you will have the perfect could weather- freeze resistant ball valve. Febco ball valve company chooses profit over changing over to a valve with freeze plug protection. It seems they would rather sell millions of replacement valves every year instead of providing a more durable product to the consumer.
