How to choose Check Valves
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Function and Use
A check valve opens for flow in the forward direction and closes for pressure in the reverse direction. Typical applications are securing air reservoirs, preventing backflow in branched networks and holding pressure during a supply failure.
