 The Tideflex ®

Check Valve:
For Reliable Backflow Protection!
In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency commissioned
Red Valve Company to develop and test an alternative to
flapgate valves, stating that, “Increasing the reliability
and performance of tidegates has a beneficial impact
on the general pollution abatement program for the
nation’s waterways.” The elastomer “duckbill”
Tideflex® Check Valve was specifically designed
to eliminate the operational and maintenance
problems associated with flapgate check valves,
including corrosion of mechanical parts, freezing
open or shut, warping
and clogging due to trapped debris. The EPA rigorously tested the Tideflex®
valve for two years and found that Tideflex® showed significant improve-
ment over flapgate valves in terms of leakage inflow, entrapment of
debris, capability to self clean and susceptibility to marine fouling.
Today, hundreds of thousands of Tideflex® valves are installed and
performing reliably worldwide.

The Tideflex® Mixing System was designed
to be simple, reliable and cost effective. The
system makes use of the patented Tideflex®
Check Valve and a simple piping manifold
within the tank. This reduces cost by
minimizing the amount of pipe and fittings
required for a separate inlet and outlet. By
discharging water from one side of the
reservoir and draining from the other, the
system ensures that the water supply is
constantly “turned over” to avoid stagnation
and dead zones.
The mixing system works in two phases.
When the reservoir is being filled (Figure A),
the pressure of the water in the manifold
forces the “discharge” valves to open and

P Eliminates backflow
Red Valve’s Tideflex® Check Valve has a revolutionary design for backflow pre-
vention. It offers low cracking pressure to eliminate standing water and very low
headloss that is not affected by rust, corrosion or lack of lubrication. Tideflex®
Check Valves are cost-effective because they require no maintenance or repairs
and have a long operational life span. Tideflex® operate using line pressure and
backpressure to open and close so no outside energy source is required. Sliding,
rotating, swinging and plunging parts are completely eliminated.
Tideflex® valves are excellent replacements for ineffective metal flapgate valves.
Millions of dollars each year are lost in the re-treatment of unnecessary backflow
because of faulty check valves that have corroded open or have been wedged
open by debris. Tideflex® Check Valves close drop-tight and seal around debris
with less than one psi of backpressure. Tideflex® valves will not warp or freeze
and are virtually maintenance free. They will handle large obstructions without
jamming, and there is no gate to hang open.
The inside diameter of the TF-2’s cuff is constructed to exactly match the

In some applications and installations, a slip-over pipe check valve (TF-2) is not
feasible because of an existing flange in the piping system or an existing flange
cemented in the outfall piping system vault. In these cases, the Series 35 Check
Valve is the solution. The Tideflex® Series 35 Check Valve is manufactured with
an integral elastomer flange as part of the valve. The flange size drilling con-
forms to ANSI B 16.10, Class 150#, or can be constructed with DIN, 2632 and
other standards. The Series 35 Check Valve is furnished complete with steel or
stainless steel backup rings for installation.
The Series 35 is often a direct replacement for flanged flapgates. Hinge pins
rust and corrode if not routinely lubricated, causing the flapper to hang open
and allow backflow. Small debris that collects in the seating area of the valve
will also keep the flapper open. Millions of dollars each year are lost in the
re-treatment of unnecessary backflow because of these faulty check valves.

Series 37
The Series 37G is designed to allow a Tideflex® Check Valve to be installed in a
pipe that is buried or otherwise inaccessible. The outside diameter of the Series
37G is custom-built to match the inside diameter of the pipe. The valve is slipped
into place and secured by means of an expanding steel clamp. This allows check
valves to easily be added to pipes from inside a manhole to prevent backflow into
the structure.
The Series 37G has a low cracking pressure, but headloss will be increased
relative to the original pipe due to the smaller effective inside diameter. Red Valve
also recommends pinning the valve to the pipe to further secure the valve,
especially where smooth-walled steel or plastic pipe is being used.
The Series 37G is ideal for CSO and SSO systems, with an all-rubber construction
that will not rust or corrode. The valve will not hang open on entrapped debris,
and it provides a tight seal. The Series 37G requires no routine maintenance and
provides the proven backflow prevention performance of a Tideflex® Check Valve.
