Patent
CA 2144640
There is provided a vortex-valve (40) which comprises a housing defining a vortex chamber (44), the housing having an inlet (46) through which liquid may enter the vortex chamber (44) in a manner to promote swirl within the vortex chamber (44) and an outlet (30) at one axial end of the vortex (44). A wall of the housing is provided with an opening which is normally closed by a closure, this closure (6) being operable between the closed position and an open position in which liquid may enter the vortex chamber (44) by-passing the inlet (46), characterized in that the said vortex valve is free from spring means capable of urging the closure (6) from the open position to the close position. The vortex-valve (40) may be provided at the outlet of a gully and is useful in enabling a blockage, which may occur at the inlet (46) of the vortex- valve (40), to be by-passed, thereby draining any accumulated liquid in the gully. The blockage may then be removed when the gully is relatively dry.
