General Information on Check Valves:
A check valve is a type of valve that allows fluid to flow in only one direction. They are commonly found in various systems, including plumbing, HVAC, and industrial processes, to prevent backflow which could damage equipment or contaminate the fluid. Unlike other valves that require external operation (like ball valves with handles), check valves operate automatically based on pressure differential. When fluid pressure on the inlet side exceeds the pressure on the outlet side, the valve opens; when pressure on the outlet side becomes higher, or flow stops, the valve closes to prevent reverse flow.
