160mm Flap Valve – Capricorn
Product Description
Protect your drainage system from unwanted backflow with this 160mm Flap Valve – Capricorn. Designed for standard underground drainage or sewer and waste pipes, this valve allows flow in one direction while automatically closing in adverse conditions—such as flooding, water back-pressure, or surging wastewater—to prevent water, odours, and pests from entering your property.
Constructed from durable ABS plastic with a stainless steel flap, this end flap valve delivers reliable performance in harsh underground environments. The flap swings freely to allow outgoing flow, but seals closed under reverse pressure. The socketed 110mm inlet means it’s straightforward to install with standard drainage piping. Once fitted, it works automatically, needing no external power or manual operation.
