Jobe FrostPro Freeze Prevention Device

Jobe FrostPro: Freeze Prevention for Topaz and Vortex Valves

Ships directly from the manufacturer.

FrostPro is a device that fits Jobe Topaz and Vortex valves to minimize freezing in cold weather conditions. It is manually operated. When turned on, it allows a continuous low flow of water through the valve to help prevent water freezing in the valve and the pipework supplying it.

When temperatures approach freezing, turn the FrostPro cap clockwise by hand to activate it. To keep the continuous flow from overfilling the tank, the extension arm can be lowered to drop the water level, minimizing spillage through the tank overflow pipe. When temperatures are back above freezing, turn FrostPro off by hand and retract the extension arm.

Installation on a Topaz trough valve is simple. Unscrew the hex blanking cap with a flat-bladed screwdriver, making sure the O-ring is still in the hole. Screw FrostPro into the valve, hand tight only. Then align the outlet tube with the FrostPro body outlet and slide it into place.

FrostPro is effective when the temperature rises above freezing for a few hours each day. Its effectiveness varies depending on the positioning and insulation of water storage tanks and pipelines.

FAQ

How does FrostPro prevent freezing?
When turned on, it lets a low, continuous flow of water pass through the valve to help keep the valve and its supply pipelines from freezing.

Which valves does it fit?
Jobe Topaz and Vortex valves.

Will the continuous flow overflow my tank?
You can lower the extension arm to drop the water level, which minimizes spillage through the tank overflow pipe.

When does FrostPro work best?
Jobe says it's effective when the temperature rises above freezing for a few hours each day. Results vary with how your tanks and pipelines are positioned and insulated.

Jobe FrostPro: keep water moving through your valve when the cold sets in.
