Some valves are ‘non-return’, which means the flow is unidirectional (one direction of flow) and is able to stop the fluid from returning through the valve the opposite way. A non-return valve keeps things moving in the right direction.
How a Non-Return Valve Works
Generally, the non-return valve will have a gate with a hinge or spring which closes off the bore. When flow pressure is applied, the gate opens in the direction of flow. This unidirectional flow ensures that no backflow occurs and is vital for a wide variety of applications, including chemical, agricultural, and industrial settings.
