Check valves allow flow in one direction while blocking flow in the opposite direction. Check valves are also called non-return valves or one-way valves.
• Check valves are normally installed horizontally but swing check valves can be installed vertically, but the valve should be installed with the flow going upwards.
• A foot valve is a check valve with a strainer and mounted in the end of a pipe to prevent suction of dirt from the tank into the pump. The foot valve must be installed vertically.
