Check Valve 3" CLS 300 Body A352 LCC Flanged RF

A check valve, also called a one-way valve, is a device that allows the flow of fluids to move only in one direction. The primary purpose of a check valve is to prevent backflow in the system. Check valves are cheap, effective, and easy solutions to a potential issue. Backflow can cause a problem if the flow is contaminated and, therefore, contaminates the media upstream. There are various sizes, designs, and materials to ensure there is a check valve for every application. Two-way check valves are commonly used. Check valves with vents are used as three-way check valves to protect the incoming water supply from contamination caused by backflow.
