How the RatGate works
HOW IT WORKS
The device opens with the direction of flow, which allows water / waste to pass effortlessly through the device, without allowing rats to push against it and gain access to your property.
The RatGate can be easily installed either by yourself or by a drainage contractor / builder. Watch our instructional video to see for yourself just how simple it is to install.
The RatGate is made using 100% stainless steel and its unique design means it cannot be dislodged accidentally.

"We have been supplying RatGates since 2017. They are without a doubt the best product on the market; easy to install, durable and even have a unique flap mechanism that allows you to open the flap from the top of the chamber, something that our customers find invaluable."
​
-Jim, Jetter Conversions
"Great quality pieces of kit with superb aftercare support. As a pest controller, I fit a lot of valves and of all of the ones I've seen on the market, these are my personal favourite. The function to be able to lift the valve from the top of the chamber is what sets this apart from the competition."
