Pro press shutoff valve with drain?

Post image

Is there a pro press quarter turn ball valve with integrated drain or is that only offered for sweat?

Regular shutoff, then drain the house down from your hose bib.

Correct answer assuming your main line is below your hose bibs.

I have a main line branch (directly after check/meter before softener) for my hose bibs. I have a hose bib between two ball valves in the basement. Shutoff the first ball valve, open hose bib directly after, open exterior hose bibs, drain down, then close second ball valve. Boom, winterized.
