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.
Please select a design
option below to access the 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

Typically
used when location space for the gate is minimal, the
gate is narrow (24" to 48") and somewhat deep
(18" to 36"). Updated
