NON RETURN
& FLAP VALVES
FLAP VALVES
The principle applications for flap valves are for surface water drainage associated with river, estuary and sea
water outfalls to prevent backflow into the sewer and for final effluent outfalls from wastewater treatment
works to prevent flood damage within the works.
NON-RETURN VALVES
Non return valves or backwater valves are used within sewerage and drainage systems to eliminate the risk of
flood damage by the backflow of sewage or flood water into properties through low level entries such as low
level drain gullies, toilets and washing machine outlets. The Environment Agency in their publication on
damage limitation for properties at risk from flooding and the Government guidance note “Preparing for
Floods” both recommend the installation of non-return valves (anti-flooding devices) on all such drains and
sewers.
The Building Regulations 2000, Approved Document H, recommends the installation of non-return valves on
drains from basements in low risk areas and on all drains in areas with a high risk of flooding or sewer
surcharge.
These valves are also used in commercial and industrial application where non-pressure flow control is
required (e.g. fish farming)

NON – RETURN VALVES
REDI
DN100 to DN600
A range of PVCu non return valves complying with the requirements of BS EN 13564 - ‘Anti-flooding devices for
buildings’. Sizes DN100 to DN200 are certified by the German Institute LGA.
These valves are watertight to a pressure of 0.5 bar (5m Head).
These valves have a spigot and socket with integral seal as standard for direct connection to solid walled PVCu
pipe but double spigot versions are available to special order for sizes DN400 and above. They can be
connected to other pipe material using Mission Rubber Flexible couplings (see separate technical brochure).

TECHNICAL DATA
NOTE:
PCD = PITCH CIRCLE DIAMETER OF THE BOLT HOLES
Flanges drilled to BS EN 1092 PN10 pitch circle diameter as standard except those marked in red.
Standard bolt holes in the flanges are not drilled to BS EN 1092 diameters (see table) but can be supplied to special order.
GENERAL LOCATIONS
Flap valves should be fixed so as to avoid the accumulation of debris around the invert which could
prevent the valve operating correctly.
TIDAL LOCATIONS
Turbulaence of flow due to severe wave action will shorten the working life of a flap valve. Therefore
it is recommended that careful consideration is given to the positioning of valves and they are
installed within an outfall bay or otherwise protected from direct wave action by baffles.
