You’ve heard of the old saying ‘prevention is better than cure’… well that’s certainly true when it comes to protecting our buildings from water and sewerage backflow.
With the frequency of heavy rainfall predicted to increase, effective backwater protection devices are becoming an essential component in the battle against property flooding. Not only that, but local authorities and insurance companies require such protection!
IPS Flow Systems recently added the Universal Water and Rodent Non-Return Valve (NRV) to its range of flood protection products.
The new WAR Non-Return Valve is the first of its kind; the unique shape and design allows it to open clear of sewer walls on both straight and bent inlets making it the first Universal Non-Return Valve available for all 110mm/4” pipes.
This valve has a unique design, with a shaped, stainless steel reinforced flap that has an integrated mechanism that allows it to be locked watertight. This revolutionary product has been designed and manufactured in the UK and offers protection from flooding, rodents and noxious fumes.
The lockable handle allows you to close down entry pipes to inspection chambers to allow uninterrupted maintenance.
50% of all flood damage is caused by backflow of sewers into properties via sanitary pipework. The Universal Water & Rodent NRV is a simple, cost effective start in protecting your property.
