GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ORBINOX model RC and RR Flap Gates are designed
for discharge lines such as levees, sewer lines and
drainage conduits. The flap stays closed preventing water
back-flow, and it opens automatically when the unseating
water head is higher than the seating water head. From
sizes 150mm x 150mm to 2000mm x 2000mm the RC
square Flap Gate and the RR round Flap Gate have a
unique seal design, resulting in a substantially watertight
performance. ORBINOX can also design and manufacture
the RC and RR models in larger sizes. For more
information, please contact an ORBINOX representative.
