Typical Applications:

Storm Water Outfall/Overflow: The Flex-Valve® Style 4200 Duck-Bill check valves provide quiet, maintenance-free operation with an added benefit of low opening pressure. The low opening pressure eliminates standing water – a major health concern.

Submerged Outfall Diffuser: The Flex-Valve® Style 4200 Duck-Bill check valves will eliminate marine fouling and backflow intrusion with an added benefit of higher jet velocities. The high jet velocity is also found at low flow rates, providing a more uniform port discharge distribution. The versatile construction and our creative design team can adapt the Flex-Valve® Style 4200 Duck-Bill check valves to additional applications including, but not limited to: water mixing systems, overflow vents, anti-siphon devices, course bubble diffusers, floor drains, sparging devises, or when needed, a devise to increase back pressure in a pipe line.
