Ball Valve Draining
Ball valves should also be drained for the winter season in areas
where freezing temperatures may occur. If the valve is left in either
the fully open or the fully closed position, water can become trapped
between the ball and the valve body. And if the trapped water
freezes, damage to the ball valve occurs.
After draining procedures on the backflow prevention assembly have
been completed, all ball valves must be left in the half-open/half-closed,
45 degree position. (Observe this position in Figures 2 and 3.)
Figure 2. Ball valve in half-open/half-closed, 45 degree position.
Open the ball valve approximately 45 degrees to allow water
between the ball and the valve body to drain. Leave the ball valve in
this position for the winter season to prevent freeze damage.
Open and close ball valves slowly at all times to prevent damage to
the system.
The valve must be closed before the system is repressurized.
