HFRC Serviceable Buried Drain

Ignite Your Safety

Drainage Quick Facts

When it comes to drains in freeze-prone environments, operators should know the following three things:

• Properly operating drains are critical to preventing equipment/piping freeze ups and the inevitable freeze damage that follows

• Buried drain valves are a maintenance nightmare and rarely function properly after 2 to3 years of service, if that

• Valve repair or replacement usually requires excavation, which can be expensive and often difficult to manage due to safety and environmental concerns

HFRC Serviceable Equipment Drain Features:

To address issues with operating drains in harsh environments,  HFRC introduced the first serviceable buried drain valve in 2016. This drain valve revolutionized buried drains as it could be serviced and repaired without excavation in most cases. HFRC accomplished this by partnering with one of the largest valve and hydrant manufacturers in the world, to bring the industry a serviceable buried drain that would be high-quality, reliable, and a long-lasting drain valve.

• Easily installed for new construction and as a retrofit for existing buried drain valves.

• Standard burial depths from 3 to 6 ft.

• Incorporates a vent-indicator to:

• Prevent personnel from leaving the drain open while the equipment or piping is charged. Thus, preventing from undermining and flooding.

• Provide positive indication of a leaking or failed isolation valve on the equipment or piping. Therefore, avoiding the potential for freeze ups and undermining.

• Composed of high-quality materials, parts, and finishes to assure a long service life.

• Includes custom stainless-steel identification tags to assure a long service life.
