What are brass check valves used for?

Brass check valves are excellent for air, water, oil, or fuel applications. However, they are not resistant to seawater, purified water, or chlorinated water. They are less resistant to heat and corrosion compared to stainless steel and are typically used for applications with low pressure.

Which way install check valve?

Check valve can be installed in horizontal or vertical piping runs, with the flow running upward. Mounting for vertical installations is critical.

Can a check valve be installed backwards?

Typically, an arrow on the valve’s housing indicates the flow direction. If there isn’t an arrow, examine the valve to ensure it is installed in the intended flow direction. If the valve is installed backward, media will not be able to move through the system, and the resulting pressure build-up can cause damage.
