ACO Q-Plate Orifice Plates
Regulate stormwater flow
ACO Q-Plate is designed to regulate stormwater flows in projects where a vortex flow control is not the most effective solution, or where flows are greater than 100l/s.
Each unit is tailored to the specific performance requirements of the application providing optimum hydraulic efficiency within the system.
Remote access to the system can be provided by the optional bypass door and the emergency drain facility - simplifying access and removing the need for direct man access to sewer manholes.
Manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel, the unit is available as a flat or curved radius to suit manhole diameter.
The Q-plate has no limitations on design flow. For smaller flows from 2-100l/s the Q-Brake is more suitable.

NEW QuAD-VFC Design Tool
QuAD-VFC is a free cloud-based software that supports the design and specification of ACO’s Q-Brake and Q-Plate range. QuAD-VFC calculates vortex flow control dimensions to achieve required head and flow rates. Offering instant calculations, the tool helps to speed up specification by taking into account parameters such as chamber design and outlet dimensions.
ACO Q-Chamber is a new durable bespoke prefabricated chamber designed to house ACO Q-Brake, as well as ACO Q-Plate. It combines easy-handling and simple installation with a fully-welded plastic, durable construction.
