Storm valve fi110, orange

Product detailed description

This storm valve is commonly used in external drainage systems to provide a manual shut-off function. It is typically installed close to the point where the drainage pipe enters a building. This allows the system to be manually closed during heavy rainfall or system overloads, preventing backflow of waste water into the building. It is also useful for maintenance work further along the pipeline. The device is designed for DN110 pipes and is compatible with the KG system, indicated by its orange colour. It is a lightweight solution for installers working on residential or commercial drainage systems.

The valve is suitable for use in external drainage applications where a manual shut-off is required. It is commonly found in systems where there is a risk of reverse flow due to high water levels or blockages in the main sewer line. The orange colour ensures it is easily distinguishable from other components in the system, aiding in quick identification during inspections or maintenance. The device is intended for use in non-pressurised gravity-fed drainage systems and is not suitable for high-pressure applications.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The Hydroland ZB110 is installed directly into a DN110 external drainage pipe. It is typically placed just before the pipe enters a building to allow for manual closure in case of heavy rain or system overloads. The installation requires cutting the pipe to size and fitting the valve using standard drainage connectors. It is important to ensure the valve is positioned correctly to allow for full closure and to prevent misalignment that could cause leaks or blockages.

During installation, the installer should verify that the pipe is cut cleanly and that the valve is seated properly. Common mistakes include incorrect positioning, which can lead to partial closure or failure to seal, and using incorrect fittings that may not be compatible with the DN110 size. The valve should be tested after installation to confirm that it opens and closes smoothly and that there are no obstructions in the flow path.

Compatibility and accessories

This storm valve is designed for use with the KG system for external drainage. It is compatible with standard DN110 pipes and fittings used in this system. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, but it is recommended to have spare parts such as seals or operating levers on hand for maintenance. The valve is not compatible with pressurised systems or with internal drainage systems that require automatic shut-off mechanisms.

Technical background for designers

The Hydroland ZB110 operates as a manual gate valve, allowing the flow of waste water to be completely shut off when the gate is closed. The valve is constructed from durable materials suitable for external drainage applications. The orange colour is a key identifier for the KG system, ensuring that the correct components are used during installation. The lightweight design makes it suitable for a range of building types, from residential to small commercial properties.

The operating principle relies on a manually operated gate that slides across the pipe to block or allow flow. The materials used are resistant to corrosion and wear, ensuring a long service life in external environments. The design allows for easy integration into existing drainage systems, and the DN110 size ensures compatibility with standard pipe dimensions. The valve is intended for use in non-pressurised systems, where the flow is driven by gravity.

Service and operation

The Hydroland ZB110 requires minimal maintenance. It is important to periodically check the valve for signs of wear, such as corrosion or damage to the gate mechanism. The operating lever should be tested to ensure it moves freely and that the gate closes properly. If the valve is used frequently, it should be inspected more often to ensure it remains functional. No specific service intervals are provided, but regular checks are recommended to prevent unexpected failures.

During operation, the valve should be opened and closed as needed to allow or block the flow of waste water. It is important to ensure that the valve is fully closed when not in use to prevent backflow. If the valve becomes difficult to operate or shows signs of damage, it should be replaced to maintain the integrity of the drainage system. The two-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, but does not include damage caused by misuse or improper installation.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Hydroland ZB110 be used in pressurised drainage systems?
No, this valve is designed for use in non-pressurised gravity-fed drainage systems. It is not suitable for high-pressure applications.

Is the orange colour important for system compatibility?
Yes, the orange colour indicates that the valve is part of the KG system for external drainage. This helps ensure correct installation and system compatibility.

Can the valve be used with internal drainage systems?
No, this valve is intended for external drainage systems. It is not suitable for internal systems that require automatic shut-off mechanisms.

How often should the valve be inspected for maintenance?
There are no specific service intervals provided. However, it is recommended to inspect the valve periodically for signs of wear or damage, especially if it is used frequently.
