120 V Depend-o-drain - Normally Open

120V Normally Open Depend-o-drain - Black Motorized Drain with Black Splash Cover Plate (Flapper Style)

This 120V Normally Open Depend-o-drain valve is a robust and electrically actuated drain valve featuring a black motor cover and a black splash cover plate with a flapper style internal mechanism. Designed to remain open when no 120V AC power is applied (Normally Open - NO), it closes upon receiving power to stop drainage.

This specific configuration is commonly used in applications where drainage is the default state, and power is applied to actively close the drain, such as in:

• Specific Models of Commercial Laundry Equipment: Where the drain needs to be open until a wash cycle begins.
• Certain Industrial Processes: Where a normally open drain provides a fail-safe mechanism.

Key Features:

• 120V AC Operation: Compatible with standard 120V AC power supply.
• Normally Open (NO): The valve remains open, allowing flow, until power is applied to close it.
• Flapper Style: Utilizes a hinged flapper mechanism to control flow. This style is often chosen for its ability to handle some particulate matter and provide a good seal.
• Black Motor Cover: A common identifier for certain Depend-o-drain models.
• Black Splash Cover Plate: Helps to contain any splashing during drainage.
• Electrically Actuated: Provides automated opening and closing upon the application or removal of power.
• Durable Construction: Typically manufactured with chemical-resistant materials to withstand demanding environments and prolonged use.
• Easy Integration: Designed for straightforward installation into existing plumbing systems.

Benefits of a Normally Open Flapper Style Depend-o-drain:

• Drainage by Default: Ensures continuous drainage unless actively closed with power.
• Handles Some Particulates: The flapper design may be more tolerant of small debris compared to other valve styles.
• Automated Control: Allows for integration into systems where drainage needs to be actively stopped.
