30 Dec Product Showcase: What is the 400 Series?
Whipps, Inc.’s 400 Series Breakdown
Our 400 Series catalogs the popular flap gates designed to maintain precision when managing water throughout facilities. These gates are crucial for preventing backflow by opening in one direction. Perfect for pump discharging and tidal applications. The 400 Series features equipment that embodies the quality and innovation that customers expect from Whipps. With options such as rubber flaps, metal flaps, or pontoon style, the 400 Series Flap Gates are an example of the resilience, longevity, and top performance our factory manufactures on a day-to-day basis.
451 Flexible Flap Gates
Model 451 Flap Gates feature rubber flap providing flexibility to the opening and closing process. Great for lower head applications that may contain debris. These rubber flaps are attached to stainless steel frames, ensuring durable and dependable functionality. Custom designed for applications regardless of size, mounting arrangement, or flow conditions.
452 Stainless Steel Flap Gates
The Stainless Steel Flap Gates, or Model 452, utilize a metal flap that seals against UHMW or rubber seals. The weight of the stainless steel flap ensure low leakage rates when closed, preventing back flow in the water system. Flow will continue in the permitted direction when the head pressure is larger than the force of the metal flap. These flap gates are a smart choice for projects requiring high-performance flow control without compromising durability.
Pontoon Style Flap Gates
Our Pontoon Style Flap Gates are the heavy duty flap gates design to handle the toughest applications. While these flap gates are great for preventing back flow in industrial facilities, it is more difficult to lift the flap manually which can cause a problem if debris prevents full closure. Featuring robust arms to pivot the thick metal flap, the pontoon style flap gates can handle high head conditions that contain heavy debris.
