New Product: Activalve - Manufactured in Italy by RuB Valves

Every year many thousands of homes suffer catastrophic water damage as a direct result of frozen pipes that have burst. Significant damage can also occur when a homeowner is unable to find or operate their mains water valve in an emergency. Over 2600 gallons of water can spew out each day a rupture is left unchecked. It consistently accounts as one of the largest insurance claims sectors.

Manufactured in Italy by RuB valves, Activalve is the only mains water control product available on the market featuring an automatic shutdown function that operates without power or battery backup. This sensible, low cost practical solution is instantly identifiable and simple to operate.

Activalve operates on the principle that the temperature in your property drops evenly in the event of heat failure. It is designed to trigger above freezing point so will still work if there is few degrees differential between areas. It should be placed in the location that is likely to be the coldest first, this will depend on where you live and your property type. Activalve should replace your old main water valve or can be placed in line with it if necessary.

The product is fitted with a RuB s.468 full port shut off ball valve 3/4” (22mm). Precision engineered to the highest standard, having passed 100,000 cycle lift tests. Manufactured in Italy by RuB Valves, an ISO 9001:2008 certified company.
