What does a 40mm non-return valve do?
1½” 40mm Dry Self-Sealing Non Return Waste Valve The Valve is a non-return valve with an internal membrane. The valve opens to allow water to be discharged, then automatically closes to prevent foul smells and sewer gases from entering the building.
Does mains water need a non-return valve?
While this can be achieved with 1 simple fitting, doing it correctly and more importantly, legally, requires water control devices such as a non-return valve. Other devices such as pressure reducing valves (PRV) and water blocks prevent equipment or property damage in the case of pressure fluctuations or leaks.
Is a double check valve the same as a non-return valve?
Many installers would suggest the use of a non-return valve, others might advise using a check valve. Aren’t check valves and non-return valves the same thing? Fundamentally, check valves (CVs) and non-return valves (NRVs) are different fittings and serve different purposes.
Can I fit a non-return valve vertically?
They can also be installed in any position: vertical, horizontal or oblique. Common applications include domestic water services (double check), heating systems, air-conditioning plants and compressed air systems.
