Whipps Flap Gates Series 450
Brand: Whipps, IncSeries 450 Flap Gates are used for backflow prevention in gravity flow; pump discharge and tidal applications.
Fabricated Flap Gates offer high performance and long life in designs that accommodate a wide range of mounting arrangements and flow conditions.
Rugged, reinforced construction is combined with a resilient seal to provide a heavy-duty, low leakage flap gate. Whipps, Inc. can economically produce customized flap gates for standard and nonstandard applications.
Fabricated flap gates are typically constructed of corrosion resisting materials such as stainless steel, rubber or aluminum.
Features- Performance: The use of compressible seals gives better leakage performance than a traditional cast iron flap gate with bronze seating.
- Design flexibility: All flap gates are custom-built for each application.
- Functionality: Fabricated flap gates open under a very low unseating head. This is especially true with rubber flap gates.
- Ease of Maintenance: If debris becomes wedged in the flap or accumulates behind the flap, it is easier for personal to lift it to clear the debris. This is especially true on flexible rubber flap gates.
- Quiet operation: Due to the use of resilient seals, there is no slamming action between the flap and frame even in pump discharge applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel never needs to be painted or re-coated.
- Field replaceable seals: If the seals were ever to become damaged, they are easily removable and replicable. The bronze seating faces on traditional cast iron flap gates cannot be replaced in the field.
