NON-RETURN CHECK VALVES

Check valves serve an important service in water supply and reticulation networks. They are installed in pipelines to prevent water flowing backwards and to ensure that flow only follows one direction

Advantages Of Using Non-return Check Valves

If the water happens to flow in the opposite direction, the valve will engage and protect the pumps, pipes and other valves. Without non-return check valves, severe water hammer can occur that will damage pipelines and water systems in no time.

Due to their protective nature, they are used in multiple applications, mostly to protect pumps and other valves or pipes from backflow. They will also help ensure that water or liquid is kept inside the pipes. It’s important to assess the individual water supply system before selecting a non-return valve for your needs. Non-return check valves with a higher pressure loss are a better choice over cost-saving lower pressure loss check valves. They are required to protect the water supply system adequately, where factors such as water hammer and acceptable pressure loss need to be assessed.

Let Pipe Fittings And Accessories assess your water supply network and needs, and we will make a recommendation on which non-return check valves to use.
