ACO Qmax System ACO Q-Brake Flow Regulator The ACO Q-Brake is a flow regulator which can be installed in the ACO Qmax channel to regulate the discharge flow rate to a sewer or watercourse, and to utilise the storage capacity of the ACO Qmax channel. Advantages Very compact. Occupies no additional volume as it resides inside the channel. No extra manholes required. Cost effective compared to most other solutions. Easy and quick to install. Laboratory verified performance. Standard regulator sizes available, custom sizes easily accommodated. 304 stainless steel construction for longevity. No moving parts. No loose parts to get lost. Silt formation and floating debris encouraged to pass through regulator. By-pass facility for heavy storm applications (optional). Can be used in cascade form to increase ACO Qmax storage volume on sloping sites. The flow regulator is cut from 3mm thick 304 stainless steel plate and is conveniently sandwiched in the recess between any two connecting channels or channel and manhole connector. The stainless steel construction ensures the design life will exceed a 30-year life.

Many combinations of weir and orifice geometries can be used to best optimise the performance of the installed ACO Q-Brake flow regulator for a given site. 10 Note: For customised flow regulation outside the standard range, contact the ACO Drain Design Service Department. The ACO Q-Brake is an additional component of the ACO Qmax System.
