Flap Valves protect against backup during high water events. The doors open to allow flow to begin with very low water head and withstand against high head pressures.
Features:
Flap valves operate automatically to discharge water and close automatically to stop back flow. Rising waters from flooding or tidal conditions are prevented from entering a drainage system. HDPE Flap Valves weigh less than metal units and are virtually maintenance free.
Any metallic materials in HDPE flap valves use 316L stainless steel - for example 316L stainless for hinges, door hooks balancers and reinforcement bars. 316L stainless steel offers corrosion protection for long life operations.

Applications/Advantages:
Flap valves, protection infrastructure from storm damage. They prevent back flow through discharge pipes, protect low level lands and building structures from flood waters.
Standard HDPE flap valves may be covered by one meter water column on a continuous bases and in the event of flood conditions five meters of water head for up to 72 hours. Higher pressures are available.
Doors open for one way flow with just a few millimeters of deferential pressure.
- Prevents back flow from high tidal waters.
- Prevents flooding from storm events.
- Discharges waters to tidal inlets, ditches, manholes, culverts, reservoirs, ponds, and basins.
- Flap Valves are flow control valves that allow outflow of water while preventing back flow.
- Flap Valves can be used on 4" diameter pipe (100 mm) and up.
- HDPE flap valves require very low opening pressure.
- When water on the face side of the flap door rises above water on the back side, the watertight door closes to prevent back flow.
- Flap Valves may be installed above the waterline or below the waterline.
- HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) Flap Valves, are lightweight, corrosion resistant non-return check valves for the prevention of flood damage.

Introduction to HDPE Flap Valves
HDPE flap valves are commonly used in water flow, sewage and wastewater systems. They are designed to allow fluids to flow in one direction while preventing back flow in the opposite direction. HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is a type of plastic that is durable and resistant to chemical and environmental factors, making it an ideal material for the construction of flap valves.
Flap valves consists of a hinged flap door that swings open in the direction of fluid flow, allowing the fluid to pass through. When the fluid flow stops, the flap swings back to its original closed position, creating a seal that prevents back flow. HDPE flap valves are typically used in applications where there is a risk of flooding or backup, such as in storm-water management systems or in treatment plants.
HDPE flap valves main benefits is that they are lightweight and easy to install. They are also resistant to corrosion, erosion, and UV radiation. Making them a durable and long-lasting solution for sewage and wastewater systems. Additionally, HDPE flap valves can be customized to fit specific pipe diameters and flow rates, making them a versatile solution for a range of applications.
