0224 Pendulum Flap Valve UFT-FluidPend
Intended Purpose
If the water level in the downstream waters rises during flooding, low weirs risk being flooded. River water then enters the sewer system backwards and overloads the sewage treatment plant or can even flood cellars and streets. On large rivers, the pressure head can be several meters.
Large openings on long discharge thresholds can only be reliably sealed with rigid flaps. The UFT-FluidPend Pendulum Flap Valve performs this function, especially at high pressure heads.
Properties of the Pendulum Flap Valve UFT-FluidPend
- the pendulum flap valve opens at low opening pressure in flow direction
- the sealing lip presses firmly against the frame and provides a circular seal
- no external energy required
- robust, low-maintenance mechanism
- retrofitting by doweling possible
- high pressure head permissible
