ABSTRACT:
Freeze resisting valve apparatus, for controlling water flow, includes: a vertically elongated, hollow valve body having a lower portion adapted for installation underground, the body having a lower water inlet associated with that lower portion, and an upper water outlet, for passing a stream of pressurized water through the body; a water reservoir adapted for installation underground and having communication with the body lower portion via a port; a valve seat in the lower portion of the body and having a narrowed passage positioned to increase pressurized water flow velocity in proximity to the port; and a stopper movable toward and away from the seat to effect drainage of water in the valve body downwardly past the stopper to the reservoir when the stopper is closed on the seat, and to effect inducing of water flow from the reservoir and into the stream via the seat passage when the stopper is retracted from the seat.
