The Haws 6518FR freeze-resistant valve system is a fully engineered pneumatic operated valve for use on all Haws single bubbler freeze-resistant pedestal fountains. The placement of the valve below the frost line allows the system to function when freezing conditions are present at surface level. Its fully accessible design allows for reliable service year round. (For high water tables, see Haws model 6519FR)
Installed below the frost line, the valve remains fully functional under the worst of weather conditions, with the fountain remaining functional as well.The Haws 6518FR freeze-resistant valve system is a fully engineered pneumatic operated valve for use on all Haws single bubbler freeze-resistant pedestal fountains.
