Summary
ITRC began to investigate early designs of Flap Gates in
1992. Originating in Holland in the 1940s, the Flap Gate
is a simple, inexpensive hydraulic gate for automatic
upstream water level control. This report includes
information on design (the Microsoft Excel files
available for download below), installation,
maintenance, water conservation and efficiency, cost,
use, and benefits.

Excel program files and plans in pdf form.
Typically used on gates that are wide (36" to 72") and relatively shallow (12" to 24"). Currently the most common option. Updated 7/25/08
Typically used when location space for the gate is minimal, the gate is narrow (24" to 48") and somewhat deep (18" to 36"). Updated 7/27/08
