Non-Return Valve for 160mm Drainage Pipes
These Drain pipe Non Return Valves (NRVs)/ Backflow Prevention Devices (BPDs) protect buildings against flooding from back flow of storm water and sewage travelling back up the sewage drain or toilet systems during intense rains, thaws, or floods.
Suitable for 160mm Drain/Sewage Pipes as well as Water and Rainwater Pipes. The simple and effective design also inhibits unpleasant smells from the sewage or drainage system.
This backflow prevention device allos sewage or rain water to flow through it from one direction, but the flap closes tightly shut automatically when sewage or water pushes at it from the other side. KARMAT backwater valves are equipped with a manual closure lever. Changing of the lever from OPEN position A to CLOSED position B causes a complete arrest of sewage backflow. The interior of the non return valve is smooth ensuring non-interrupted flow of sewage through the device.
The flap guard (as well as all assembly elements (screws, nuts, washers)) are made from corrosion resistant chromium nickel giving effective protection against rats and other rodents.
The backflow valves can be installed in horizontal pipes within the building or in manholes/access chambers outside the building.
How does the Backflow Valve Work?
The Backflow Prevention Device has a Single Flap that allows sewage to flow through it from one direction, but the flap closes tightly shut when sewage or water pushes at it from the other direction. This simple mechanism ensures that, during flood events, basements and rooms located at lower levels are protected from sewage from the sewer system. It is a fully automatic operation that requires no external power supply. The manual lockable lever can be used for emergency lockdown of the pipe network or for maintenance. It also enables protection against unpleasant smells in case of longer breaks in household sanitary system use.
