CapR

flood protection Device

Deployment in as little as 15 seconds

Expansion plugs for cylindrical air intakes.

Expansion plugs are a flood protection safety device available in various sizes, designed to seal off air vents from the exterior walls into the flood-prone area or the crawl space.

Materials:

  • Plastic construction
  • Special Gasket

Available sizes

Maximum size*:

  • Ø 16.2 H

Minimum size*:

  • Ø 2.2 H

*Measurements in centimetres.

PLEASE NOTE: For unavailable diameters or different shapes, we manufacture the following air intake covers: PPQ (square) 4V\CERN; PPR (rectangular) 4V\CERN; PPT (round) 4V\CERN; and other custom-made models.

Other features

  • From the outside toward the inside of the area to be protected
  • Remove any grille. Seat the inner edge of the plug flange firmly against the clean, straight end of the pipe. Tighten the butterfly handwheel until it engages firmly with the pipe, then continue turning until the gaskets are correctly compressed.

DISCLAIMER! Be sure to follow the warnings and instructions in the User and Maintenance Manual

  • This is a very important factor to assess carefully before purchasing the device, especially if several devices need to be deployed in an emergency: the CAPR model can be deployed in as little as 15 seconds.
  • Suitable for ground-floor openings in houses and villas, for example kitchen air vents (approximately 30 cm above floor level), garages or vehicle shelters, shopping centres, logistics warehouses and storage facilities, artisan workshops and industrial premises.
  • It can be used as a safety cap and, if necessary, placed in front of the air inlets of smooth, perfectly round pipes

I choose CapR because the developers have solved these issues for me:

Can be locked with a padlock

Padlockable as standard.

They are available in various base diameters and can be expanded even further.

This identification number, which only RAPID has been issuing since 2017, contains the entire history of your flood protection device, ensuring seamless after-sales support—from locating replacement parts to handling any recalls.

Known defects identified and avoided as the original design was progressively developed

Pipes of Different Diameters

The pipes can have different diameters.

They could be unscrewed or removed from public areas.

A flood barrier in front of a door is ineffective if it is higher than an unprotected air vent, such as a kitchen gas ventilation opening or crawl space vent, usually around 30 cm above outdoor ground level, because the premises will still flood.

  • Padlock
  • Up to 2 years for gaskets used and stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Up to 5 years, excluding gaskets

DISCLAIMER: WARNING! If the opening is a designated safety exit, a safety plan must approve the use of another suitable exit before the flood barrier is fitted. Otherwise, the space to be protected must contain no people or anything else that could be put at risk. Dripping is within the permitted sealing tolerance, although it does not necessarily occur. Additional protective measures are recommended when the device protects hazardous areas.
