How Does a Line Drain Work?
Drain valves allow for the water in the supply line to escape.Manual drainshave some sort of lever or trigger so that you can conveniently release the water at your discretion. Most prefer to installAuto drain valvesthat make proper maintenance even easier. Auto drains are able to detect when the water pressure is below a certain level. The drop in the pressure occurs every time the system is shut off, and it triggers the release of the large majority of the water left in the supply lines.
At PlumbersStockwe encourage you to purchase automatic drain valves. They are very inexpensive, and will save you the trouble of having to be forever mindful of early frosts and spring frosts that we often experience in the Midwest, mountain west, and all over the northern regions of the United States.
