Duckbill Check Valves

The unique, one-piece, elastomeric components, the Duckbill Check Valves act as backflow prevention devices or one-way valves or check valves. Shaped like a duckbill, they have elastomeric lips which prevent backflow and allow forward flow. These valves are engineered for installation on pre-existing pipelines like manholes, outfalls, and vaults where the outfall invert of the pipe is close to the floor of the manhole or outfall. These valves can be engineered into the pipe layout with little concern for outfall clearance due to its “low slope” design when a new installation is being designed.

Duckbill Check Valves

It has a sloping bottom that has been developed to offset the issues commonly affiliated with other flat bottom valves which entrap solids and flows due to its design. The product has been designed with care to prevent this issue and has a minimal slope allowing complete drainage with easy installability on minimal clearance areas. These valves have been manufactured with 100% algae and barnacle resistant rubber and additionally are fire-resistant.
