The Red Valve Weirflex 70 CSO Pinch Valve

Manually Adjustable Weir Valve for Combined Sewers

The Weirflex 70 Valve is designed to specifically meet the needs of stormwater and
combined sewer systems. The valve features a full-port opening for unobstructed flow
when in the open position. To control the rate at which stormwater enters a collection
system, the valve is closed from the bottom, creating an adjustable weir, that can
be closed up to 96% of the total pipeline diameter.

Application
The Weirflex valve allows operators to adjust for seasonal rainfall changes, wet-weather
conditions, storm events or changing population demands. The Weirflex reduces storm-
water surges and prevents flooding of treatment plants and exceeding their maximum
capacity. Used as a flow regulator, the valve maximizes storage capacity within existing
collection systems piping.

Sleeve
The heart of the valve is a tough, elastomer sleeve, the only wetted part, that provides Materials of Construction
an unobstructed opening with no seats or crevices where debris can buildup causing Body: fabricated carbon steel,
the valve to bind. The operating mechanism is completely isolated from the stormwater, Sleeves: Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene,
remainig unaffected by trash bags, twigs and other debris. Hypalon, Chlorobutyl, Buna-N, EPDM
and Viton.

Operation
Operation of the valve is simple: turning the handwheel raises the bottom pinch bar DN FTF [mm] width [mm]
beneath the sleeve. This pinching action against the sleeve creates a weir that can
easily be adjusted to suit the flow rate desired. The open-frame design of the Weirflex 300 915 890
and a position-indicator rod rising from the handwheel provide an easy visual 350 1070 965

Weirflex Level Control

The Weirflex Level Control package allows users
to monitor and control the level of available storage
capacity within their pipeline by recording the level
of water upstream of the valve. Utilizing an ultrasonic
sensor tied to a control module, this package can be
setup to indicate level, indicate valve position or control
valve position with a 4-20 mA signal.
