      • Also known as one-way valves or check valves. They have elastomeric edges, or lips, shaped in a way that resembles a duck’s bill (hence their name). Designed for unidirectional, forward flow, any reverse pressure results in the lips closing to a seal, blocking backflow. As forward flow resumes, the sealed lips part again.

  2. A duckbill valve is a check valve, usually manufactured from rubber or synthetic elastomer, and has two or more flaps, usually shaped like the beak of a duck. [1] It is commonly used in medical applications to prevent contamination due to backflow.

    • Cost Effective Check Valves For Stormwater Drainage
    • What Are The Benefits?

    By controlling and preventing backflow, check valves prevent discharges from wastewater treatment plants from contaminating clean water supplies. Check valves can also help prevent flooding, standing water, ensure water flows in the correct direction and prevent potentially harmful phenomena such as water hammers. In addition, check valves are wide...

    There are also potential health and environmental impacts. In many urban environments, excess stormwater is drained into the existing sewerage system, where the network can become overwhelmed, resulting in the backflow and overflow of contaminated water.

    The unique design prevents backflow
    Passive non-mechanical operation and negligible maintenance and energy costs
    Easy installation on all existing infrastructure
    Resistant to corrosion, fire and abrasive (sludge) flows
  3. Duckbill Valves are unique, one-piece, elastomeric components that act as backflow prevention devices. Also known as one-way valves or check valves. They have elastomeric edges, or lips, shaped in a way that resembles a duck’s bill (hence their name).

  4. Mar 7, 2024 · Duckbill check valves act as vital safeguards, ensuring that fluids flow in the intended direction while inhibiting the undesirable return of contaminants or pressure surges.

  5. May 1, 2024 · At first glance, a duckbill valve appears quite basic – a flexible, one-piece elastomeric sleeve with a tapered end. Yet, don’t let its simplicity mislead you. This intuitive design is the cornerstone of its superior functionality and efficiency: Self-Cleaning Capability.

  6. Compared to traditional swing check valves or spring-loaded poppet valves, duckbill valves offer several advantages: No mechanical hinge or spring to fail or wear out, giving them superior reliability and service life.

  7. Jun 13, 2024 · Inspired by nature, the duckbill valve is a simple check or one-way valve that is formed from a flexible material such as rubber or some other elastic material. Typically, the two halves form a beak-like appendage that allows a fluid to flow easily in one direction.
