What is a Drainage Flap Valve?
Drainage Flap Valves are innovative devices used to prevent flooding caused by the back flow of storm water. Backflow can be caused by intense rain, thaw or floods. The valves prevent backflow and silting due to the increasing water levels above the drainage level.
Where the Flap Valve has a metal Faceplates (like these), they are also an effective rat barrier to your land drainage system. The metal stops the rodents from chewing through the flap facepate of the non return valve and protects your drainage system from blockage due to rodents building their nests in the pipes.
Flap Valves are installed on a pipe and allow water to flow through the pipe as usual, but prevent anything from flowing back in, like flood water, rats or debris. The pressure of the water flowing through the pipe will open the valve, they automatically close when there is nothing flowing through the pipe.
Where can these Flap Valves be installed?
These flap valves are designed to be installed at the end of land drains and other unperforated corrugated drainage pipes leading storm water to soakaways or rivers. They are sometimes referred to as Outfall Flap Valves.
Comes with Universal Coupling which fits 72mm to 100mm pipes.
Easy to install. The Non-Return Valve simply slips on to the end of the pipe.
