## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these be placed on 1" main line with additional fittings to reduce to 1/2 inch?**
A: I put mine on 3/4" line with a 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2" T fitting.

**Q: Does this work well when buried, or do I need to slide a piece of 3 inch PVC over it to protect it from dirt?**
A: I surround it with a few inches of gravel.  They have worked for 25 years.

**Q: How long does this drain usually last? When my last auto drain valve failed, it gave me a huge headache.**
A: It should last for a very long time, many years….

**Q: A very unique application - will I get a "spurt" out of the valve each time the water is turned on? (before the valve actually closes)**
A: Not sure maybe nothing or a small amount before the pressure closed the valve. The valve will drain the pipe, as much as gravity will permit , when the water is shut off and the pressure  dinished.
