Inline Valves
MeasurIT Technologies Ltd
The Check-Flex® G5 valve is the latest generation of inline check valve and offers a smooth upstream profile.
The G5 is built from radial layers of fabric reinforced rubber, which are hot vulcanised into a single piece valve. The unique fold away design of the inner sleeve delivers near full port flow and fast drainage.
The materials used are rated for severe service including unscreened highway run off and even steam detergent wash down areas in food plants. The fibre reinforcement prevents tearing from glass shards, grit and debris. The neoprene will flex without fatigue in the same way as a tyre flexes each rotation.
The one piece design allows the valve to flex without the point stress of older three piece assembled design. The valve combines a Sealing Gasket, Moving Flap and Container into a single integrated product. There is no hinge mechanism to be maintained.
Sealing directly to the pipe means no work to the existing wall opening or benching. Angled pipe openings, ring manholes and damaged pipe ends, need no extra work as the installer can recess the valve into these pipes to make the valve-to-pipe seal.
The tough one piece reinforced construction is offers long life in all drainage locations, including coastal and saltwater areas without periodic maintenance.
The low headloss and fast installation with hand tools means these valves are a simple addition to any property to protect against public sewer surcharging, flooding and odours. These valves are often fitted to car park drains in retail and commercial sites to prevent odours and flooding.
Flanged models are available and these are ideal for connecting to mating flanges on process tanks and pipework. In civil headwalls, the flange bolt circle may meet the end of the pipe and compromise the connection. Insert Direct to Pipe models have the same pressure rating and are the most common connection choice.
The Check-Flex G5 requires no external power and is silent in operation. The valve has a virtually instant response to backflow and is suitable for odour control applications.
