Metex Non-Return Valves – How To Install

How to Install Metex Non-Return Valves

If you’re wondering how to install Metex non-return valves, this short video demonstrates just how quick and simple the process is. The Metex Buffalo Stainless Steel Non-Return Valve is designed to fit 110mm clay, PVC, or cast-iron pipe systems and can be installed within the inlet or outlet of a drainage chamber. It’s WRc approved and built from high-quality stainless steel for durability and long-term performance in demanding environments.

To install, first ensure the drain pipe is clean and free of debris. The valve is then inserted into the open end of the pipe, with the flap mechanism facing outward to allow water to flow away from the property. Once in place, it can be securely clamped or locked using the integrated fixing points to create a tight seal. The door should open easily under water pressure but close automatically to stop any backflow or rodent entry. No specialist tools are required, and the process takes just a few minutes.

Metex non-return valves are ideal for domestic and commercial drainage systems, especially in flood-prone areas or where rodent infestations are a concern. By preventing backflow during heavy rainfall and blocking access to rats and vermin, they help protect homes and properties from unpleasant and costly damage.

With their robust stainless-steel construction and reliable one-way design, Metex Buffalo non-return valves provide a simple, effective, and long-lasting solution for keeping drains flowing freely and safeguarding against flooding or contamination.
