Threaded back check valves for one directional LPG/NH3 flow

Threaded back check valves are one-way valves that protect container contents from escaping if piping or fittings accidentally break. Frequently they are found in gas installations where there is a requirement for a high, single directional flow.

Product description

As back check valves provide a one-way flow security functionality, they are ideal for installation in pipelines flowing into pressure tanks and pump discharge lines as they will close off if the flow-direction changes or stops.
