AQUIKO Square Flap Valves offer a simple yet effective method of flood prevention. Installed in a variety of conditions to prevent backflow into outlets and minimise the risk of flooding. The flap valve comprises a door (the flap) with a hinge at the top which allows fluid to pass in one direction but not the other. The humble flap valve may seem simple yet to make a simple solution brilliant requires a lot of thought.
Description
Square Flap Valve – AQUIKO Non-Return Flow Control
The AQUIKO Square Flap Valve is designed to deliver efficient non-return protection in bespoke or large-format openings where standard circular valves may not suffice. Manufactured in the UK from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this design ensures lightweight installation, low-head loss and excellent durability — making it a strong choice for contractors and resellers needing high-specification, stock-enabled solutions.
Key Features & Benefits
-
UK-manufactured for consistent quality, rapid supply and trusted performance.
-
HDPE construction — lightweight, corrosion-resistant, UV stable and suitable for high-performance applications.
-
Customisable pressure ratings — each size is designed around a flexible pressure spec rather than a one-size rating.
-
Low maintenance and low head-loss design — the lightweight material allows efficient operation and reduced operating costs.
-
Ideal for contractors & resellers — standard sizes plus bespoke options cater to stock availability and project-specific demands.
