Flow control valve HAT/FP

The HAT/FP is a reliable and automatic freeze protection valve designed to protect water resupply lines from freezing. This thermostatic valve controls flow based on temperature variations to prevent frozen or bursting pipes which can lead to downtime and hefty repair expenses while minimizing water waste. Operation Installed at the lowest point or dead leg branch, HAT/FP utilizes our thermostatic wax actuator technology to monitor ambient or water temperatures automatically and will bleed off the cold water in the lines before freezing can occur. HAT/FP freeze protection valves initiate flow when the thermostatic actuator senses the valve’s set-point, typically 35°F (1.6°C), and will remain open as long as the discharge water temperature is below 5 degrees above that, typically 40°F (4.4°C). DEPENDING ON THE APPLICATION NEEDS, the HAT/FP freeze protection valve can be installed in either the standard or reverse flow orientation. In standard flow orientation, the wax actuator will sense the ambient temperature to initiate flow and then respond to water temperature once flow is established. In reverse flow orientation, the wax actuator will sense the water temperature at the point of installation to initiate flow and continue to respond to water temperature once flow is established. Typical Applications Relying on manually opening valves for freeze protection allows for human error or plugging partially cracked valves. This annually accounts for large amounts of freeze damage resulting in huge monetary losses, including repairing damaged equipment and piping and system downtime. The self-actuating HAT/FP valve eliminates the human errors associated with manual valves.
