Of course, you will need to keep a supply of spare ties because, when/if you need to turn off the valve you must cut and remove the tie! See attached photo.

That's not solving the problem. That's putting a band-aid on it. You need to fix what is causing the valves to close. Have you checked the expansion tank?
