How to drain water from a pipe in a well so that it does not freeze
In winter, most water systems have a problem with freezing water occurring in lines that are not heated. Thus, everything can reach the point that the residents of the house will be left without heating.
But this problem can be avoided if the water is drained in time, so we suggest you purchase the Belamos FV-B 1/2" automatic valve, designed to drain water in the winter.
How much do Belamos FV-B valves cost?
The cost of the valve is from 1,500 rubles.
This product is suitable for a well or special pressure pipes of wells. The principle of operation of such valves is relatively simple. The fact is that they start working when the pressure in the water supply system drops below 0.6 atm. This is how low the pressure drops when the pump is turned off and the valve is opened. If these conditions have been met, then this device will automatically immediately start draining the water. Turning on the pump will immediately increase the pressure, so the valve will immediately close. Tap thread - NR 1/2”.

Drain valve design features
It is worth noting the design features of this automatic valve, designed to drain water from various water supply systems in the winter. Inside the structure is a spherical valve, which is pressed against the drain hole due to increased pressure. Thus, the water will not drain, for example, when the pump is on. If the pressure drops, the valve will push back, opening a hole through which the water will drain.
