Check Valve

Backflow Prevention:

• One-Way Flow: The valve is designed to allow fluid to flow only in one direction. When pressure from the reverse direction occurs, the valve closes automatically to prevent backflow.
• Prevents Contamination: It protects the water supply or system from contamination by preventing the reverse flow of potentially harmful substances.

Size and Compatibility:

• 3/4-Inch Size: The 3/4" check valve is typically designed to fit into systems with 3/4" piping. Ensure that the valve size matches the diameter of your pipe system for proper installation.
• Threaded or Slip Connections: These valves often come with threaded (NPT) or slip connections for easy integration into various pipe materials like PVC, copper, or galvanized steel.

Material Options:

• Brass/ Bronze: Common for potable water applications due to corrosion resistance and durability.
• PVC/Plastic: Lightweight and suitable for non-corrosive environments such as irrigation systems.
• Stainless Steel: Highly durable and corrosion-resistant, ideal for high-pressure or harsh chemical environments.

Types of Check Valves:

• Spring-Loaded Check Valve: Utilizes a spring to close the valve when reverse flow is detected. These valves are compact and quick-acting.
• Swing Check Valve: Features a hinged disc or "flap" that swings open when forward flow occurs and closes when reverse flow is detected.
• Ball Check Valve: Uses a ball to block reverse flow and is commonly used in low-pressure systems.
