ACO Building Drainage, the built environment
division of drainage specialist ACO Technologies, has launched its latest range
of valves designed to prevent flooding into private or commercial premises resulting
from sewer backflows. The ACO JUNIOR ® and TRIPLEX ® models are suitable
for grey water applications and QUATRIX ® models specifically for black water
applications and are all designed for simple installation, reliable operation,
easy maintenance and long life.
All ACO backflow valves offer dependable flood protection. Designed in accordance
to BS EN 13564, they feature two closure devices so that backflow is prevented
even if one device fails to close due to the presence of detritus build-up. The
manually operated emergency device incorporated into the second flap enables
the pipe system to be shut off in emergencies or long periods of building non-use.
The ACO Junior combined drainage gully and backflow valve is ideal for utility
rooms, basements or plant rooms in new-build or refurbishment projects. Connecting
to 110mm diameter drain pipe it is extremely versatile, featuring an optional
50mm diameter back inlet for connection to an appliance, shower or basin.
ACO TRIPLEX ® and QUATRIX ® backflow valves are for grey water and
black water applications respectively. Both systems are lightweight and accommodate
110mm and 160mm diameter drain pipes. Additionally, both systems are available
with or without factory fitted access chambers for quick and easy installation
as an alternative to site-built brick access chambers.
Featuring a high torque dc motor drive, QUATRIX ® models ensure reliable
operation even in the most polluted black water conditions. Activated by a pressure
sensor located in the valve body, the powered motorised flap closes automatically
in the presence of a backflow and opens when the backflow abates. The remotely
located control box provides visual and audible indication of backflow and valve
status at all times. In the event of mains power failure, a battery back-up facility
ensures reliable operation for 24 hours until mains power is restored.
Rated at IP67, the QUATRIX ® motor/valve body can be used reliably in locations
that are susceptible to storm water flooding as all electrical connections remain
unaffected. The IP56 rated control box is ideal for use in basements, utility
rooms and plant room locations. Passive contacts are provided for easy connection
to Building Management Systems further enhancing installation surveillance.
