ThermOmegaTech’s HAT/FP is an automatic freeze protection valve designed to prevent water resupply lines from freezing.
This thermostatic valve controls flow based on temperature variations. It’s engineered to prevent frozen or bursting pipes that lead to downtime and repairs while minimizing water waste.
Installed at the lowest point or dead leg branch, the HAT/FP utilizes the company’s thermostatic wax actuator technology. This effectively monitors ambient or water temperatures automatically and will bleed off the cold water in the lines before freezing occurs.
A key benefit is the ability to initiate flow when the thermostatic actuator senses the valve’s set-point, typically 35°F. It will remain open as long as the discharge water temperature is below 5°F above that, typically 40°F. The HAT/FP can also be installed in standard or reverse flow orientations.
