Check Valves

Check valves are extremely simple devices yet they serve an important purpose in many pneumatic circuits. Generally used in systems where back flow is not permitted, check valves are two-port valves that allow free flow in one direction and block flow in the opposite direction. They can also be used as a bypass valve, allowing media around components such as needle valves which restrict flow in both directions.
Pneumatic check valves rely on air flow to function and are designed with a specified cracking pressure, which is the minimum pressure required for the valve to operate. Because they are self-automated, pneumatic check valves do not require assistance to open or close and will continue to function without a manual operator, electricity or other external controls. Pneumatic check valves are commonly used in vacuum breakers, steam lines, cooling towers, HVAC system, sump pumps, pressure pumps, boilers and more.
Common uses for check valves include:

Common uses for check valves include:
- Industrial processes including fluid system in chemical and power plants
- Aerospace applications including aircraft hydraulic systems
- Applications where multiple gases are mixed into a single stream
- Irrigation sprinklers and drip irrigation systems
- Home heating systems
- Rainwater harvesting systems connected to a main water supply
