Home / Water Control Gates / Flap Gates
Flap gates are used as an efficient backflow prevention solution in most free discharge applications. These are used for automatic drainage from outfall structures to river , estuaries and sea and for preventing reverse flow flood / tide from river, estuary and sea to plant. These are gravity operated and need minimal water pressure for operation. The flap opens when the head in pipe or conduit exceeds 0.2 feet above the head in the receiving body of water. The flap closes when the head in the receiving body of water exceeds the head in the pipe or the conduit. When fully open the flap gate offers a very low head loss. These are offered in varied designs and various materials of construction such as Cast Iron / Ductile cast iron / Stainless steel / Super Duplex stainless steel / HDPE / Composite etc to suit the intended application.
