Overview

Hydro-Brake® Flow Control is a self-activating vortex flow control device that offers cost savings on both stormwater and foul / combined applications.

The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control harnesses the energy inherent in the flow field. It has no moving parts and no external power requirements.

With clear openings up to 600% larger than conventional flow control devices, the risk of blockage is reduced to a minimum.

In addition, the unique head / discharge characteristics with high flush and kick-back flow points, reduce storage volume requirements, lowering project costs.

The STH range of Hydro-Brake® Flow Controls have been awarded BBA Certification. The BBA Certificate (No. 08/4596) covers hydraulic performance as well as manufacture and compliance with building regulation standards. The Hydro-Brake® is the only vortex flow control device with BBA certification.

The BBA approved STH range of Hydro-Brake® Flow Controls is now included in WinDes® W.12.6

The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control can be used in conjunction with our Stormbloc®, Stormcell® and Downstream Defender®, Hydro Filterra™ or Up-Flo™ Filter, to provide a complete SUDS solution which includes flow control, storage / infiltration and treatment.
