WARNING:  If the FrostSafe™ is installed 

downstream of an air valve, the 
air valve’s isolation valve must be 
closed prior to performing 
inspection or maintenance of the 
FrostSafe

.  Failure to close the 

isolation valve could lead to 
bodily injury if the air valve 
discharges air during inspection.

FROSTSAFE™ CONSTRUCTION

 

The standard FrostSafe™ is constructed of quality 
corrosion resistant materials including high density 
polyethylene (HDPE) and Stainless steel type 316 
bolts.  The general details of construction are 
illustrated in Figure 3 and identified in Table 2.

MAINTENANCE

 

The FrostSafe™ requires no scheduled lubrication 
or maintenance. 
 

INSPECTION:  The FrostSafe

 may be checked for 

debris by following the disassembly and reassembly 
instructions.  The body may be checked for cracks 
and gouges and the damper seal for tears.  The 
rubber membranes may be inspected for aging, 
tears or deep scratches.

DISASSEMBLY

 

 
1. Loosen the pipe flange bolts, separate the flanges 

and remove the FrostSafe

 
2. Use an Allen wrench to remove the button head 

cap screws (4). 

 
3. Pull the body halves apart to inspect the damper 

seal (3) and the rubber membranes (2). 

 

REASSEMBLY

 

All parts must be clean.  Worn or damaged parts 
should be replaced during reassembly. 
 
1. Insert screws into counterbores of one of the 

damper bodies (1). 

 
2. Place one of the rubber membranes (2) into the 

register making sure to put the screw through one 
of the bolt holes cut into the membrane. 

 
3. Lay the plastic damper seal (3) on top of the 

rubber membrane (2) making sure to align the cut 
patterns for proper mating. 

 
4. Place the other rubber membrane (2) on top of 

the damper seal completing the three-layer 
structure.  Again, make sure to align the cut 
patterns for proper mating.
