Purpose:
A check valve is a one-way valve that allows fluid or gas to flow in one direction only, preventing backflow.
It is used in various industrial and commercial applications to protect equipment, prevent contamination, and maintain system pressure.
Material Construction:
Likely made of durable materials such as brass, stainless steel, or cast iron to withstand high pressures and harsh environments.
Materials are chosen to ensure corrosion resistance, especially in plumbing, fluid handling, or air systems.
Flow Direction:
Designed to automatically allow fluid or gas to flow in one direction and close to prevent reverse flow when the pressure drops or flows in the opposite direction.
