It\u2019s installed inside a non-return valve on the property\u2019.

A non-return valve is installed to help protect against backflow, and a Rat Proof valve (a non-return valve fitted with the Rat-Proof Flap OUT <\/span><\/strong>) is installed to help block rat intrusion. Many properties use both for maximum protection, and your plumber can confirm the best setup and placement based on your drain line.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s strongly recommended to install our Rat-Proof Flap OUT <\/span><\/strong> in your existing non-return valve before rats make their way to your property. This qualifies as a true preventive measure.<\/span><\/p>

Whatever your decision is, if you do not do it today, you may do it tomorrow, but then with a big rat infestation. Either today or tomorrow, you will end up installing the Rat-Proof Flap OUT <\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No, but you must act immediately. <\/span>Start by locating the rats\u2019 entry point using a smoke test combined with a camera inspection. Once the opening is confirmed, seal it with our Rat-Proof Flap OUT <\/span><\/strong>. After that, all that remains is to capture the unwanted rodents and you will finally be in peace.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You need to install a non-return valve, then fit it with the Rat-Proof Flap OUT <\/span><\/span>. If you live in Canada, Mexico<\/span> or the U.S.A.<\/span> it is easy to get a non-return valve at your preferred hardware store, then simply replace the original flap with the Rat-Proof Flap OUT <\/span><\/span>. You will avoid transport costs by only ordering the Rat-Proof Flap OUT <\/span><\/span>.<\/p>

The popular non-return valve models that we recommend for installing a Rat Proof Valve or only replacing the flap only are: IPEX – CANPLAS – OATEY – PRO FLO.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Rat-Proof Flap OUT <\/span>is not a non-return valve,<\/span> but in case of backflow, it will close under water pressure coming in the opposite direction, in the same way as a non-return valve. But a chewed-up non-return valve protects you from <\/span>NOTHING<\/span>… not even its primary function, backflow protection.<\/p>

We carried out high pressure tests to assess the function and behavior of the Rat-Proof Flap OUT <\/span><\/span>during backflow. This Rat Proof protection performs very well its second function of protection against backflow, but legally, it cannot be qualified as a non-return valve.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
