Dutco Tennant LLC proudly brings world-class flow control and water management solutions to the UAE and GCC markets. We offer a comprehensive range of penstocks, stop logs, and flap valves sourced from globally recognized manufacturers like BÜSCH Technology, known for precision-engineered solutions that meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. Designed to handle the demanding conditions of industrial, municipal, and infrastructure applications, these systems provide reliable flow control, isolation, and regulation of liquids in channels and pipelines.
As a trusted supplier in the region, our offerings cater to diverse industrial sectors including water and wastewater treatment, irrigation, flood control, infrastructure projects, and industrial process plants.
Introducing the product
Our penstocks, stop logs, and flap valves are engineered to offer maximum operational safety, durability, and flow regulation. These devices are vital components in modern water infrastructure systems, ensuring that flow can be directed, shut off, or retained as per application needs.
- Penstocks (or penstock valves) are used to control water levels or flow rates in open channels, pipes, or tanks. These valves can be operated manually, electrically, or pneumatically, based on site requirements. We supply high-quality channel penstocks that provide watertight closure and long-lasting operation, even under corrosive or submerged conditions.
- Stop Logs offer temporary or permanent flow control in open channels and can be stacked or removed easily, making them ideal for maintenance or emergency interventions.
- Flap Valves, also known as non-return valves, allow flow in only one direction, preventing backflow in sewer and drainage systems. These are especially critical in flood-prone or tidal areas.
We provide a wide range of models and configurations including:
- SAFOX® Penstocks – corrosion-resistant, robust penstocks known for low torque operation and reliable sealing.
- SAFOX G Penstocks – designed for wall-mounted installations, offering optimal performance in high-flow applications.
- SAFOX F Penstocks – floor-mounted penstocks, ideal for use in open channel systems.
- Double Plate Penstocks – ideal for isolating pipelines or channels where bidirectional sealing is required.
- Accessories for Penstocks – including extension spindles, handwheels, actuators, wall brackets, stem guides, and lifting devices for customized installations.
Our offerings also include Ham Baker Penstocks, renowned globally for reliability in water control systems.

Various uses
Our penstocks, flap valves, and stop logs serve a wide variety of industries and municipal services across the UAE and GCC, offering efficient solutions for water flow management in critical infrastructure.
Water & Wastewater Treatment Plants
Used for isolation and flow control in sedimentation tanks, inlet chambers, and treatment lines. Our penstock valves provide precise regulation during various treatment stages.
Irrigation & Drainage
Channel penstocks and flap valves play a vital role in managing irrigation networks and flood control systems. Durable under varying pressure and flow conditions, these products ensure optimal field water distribution and protection against backflow.
Municipal & Industrial Infrastructure
Used in stormwater drainage systems, pumping stations, and flood barriers. Our flap valves and stop logs are essential for emergency overflow control and maintenance shutdowns.
Power Generation & Hydroelectric Dams
High-performance penstocks regulate water inflow to turbines and reservoirs, offering reliable long-term operation under high-pressure environments.
Environmental & Coastal Engineering
Ideal for tidal flood protection and coastal wastewater outfalls. Non-return flap valves help prevent seawater ingress during high tides or storms.
