How to Guide

Flood Gates have been designed, engineered, and tested to minimize water intrusion, of depths up to
23 inches, through doors or other openings. Flood Gates are not designed to withstand impacts from
debris and/or waves. Effectiveness of Flood Gates is dependent upon pressure between sides and bottom
of opening. The structure in which it is installed must be in good shape and able to withstand this pressure.
Also, the structure surface must have a smooth surface capable of maintaining a seal.
