While wastewater management has become a lot more advanced over the years, the process still remains extremely complicated, and everything needs to go perfectly in order to make the wastewater usable again. The first process is the transportation of the wastewater and for that, the pipeline needs to be in proper working order. Should there be any sort of leakage or backflow, there could be a health crisis since the fluids are extremely toxic. In order to prevent these, valves are the way to go, and today we will show you how Duckbill Check Valves can save contractors a lot of money over regular check valves.

 Duckbill Check Valves

What is a Check Valve?

A check valve is a commonly used valve found in all water supply systems, not just sewage and wastewater systems. These valves are usually installed to ensure that there is no backflow of water while simultaneously ensuring that there is a proper forward flow of water or the fluid. They also prevent the alleviation of unwanted or undesired odor. There are several types of check valves and while most of them provide the same result, the mechanisms used are different. For example, a tilted disc check valve has a disc mechanism while the ball type check valve has a rolling ball mechanism.

What is unique about a Duckbill Check Valve?

Duckbill check valves are a unique one-piece valve usually made out of rubber or any other flexible or elastic material. Like any other check valve, these valves also help in preventing the backflow of fluids, while also helping in maintaining a smooth forward flow. These valves derive their name from the appendage formed by the two halves. This allows the fluid to flow in any one direction without any trouble. There is no mechanism involved in allowing or stopping the flow of the fluid. The pressure simply pushes the two halves apart and the fluid flows through without any trouble. However, the valve is designed in such a way that should there be any opposite flow, the two halves will close down tightly. The higher the pressure, the tighter the two halves will be together in order to prevent the backflow.

Why should you choose a Duckbill Check Valve and why from Dutco Tennant?

The main reason why Duckbill check valves can help you save money over regular check valves is due to the fact that it requires absolutely no maintenance, source of power, or manual operation. All of the action takes place automatically through the pressure of the fluid. And if there is any backflow, the design makes the two halves shut down tightly in order to make sure that there is no backflow. Due to requiring no power and not having any mechanical parts, these are much more resistant than regular check valves which have metal parts that could corrode or rust over time.
