Single & Double Check Valves
WHERE TO USE WATER SERVICES VALVES
Available with compression or BSP parallel female ends, Water Services valves help eliminate the risk of contamination through backflow in a wide range of central heating and water service installations.
Single check valves can, for example, be used to prevent backflow in central heating systems, to protect the mains water supply during the regeneration cycle of water softeners or be installed downstream of water meters to protect upstream mains from backflow.
Water Services double check valves are suitable for ensuring the filling of primary heating circuits meets the requirements of Water Byelaw 14.
Double check valves are advisable where a hose is connected to a hose union bib tap and should be installed as close to the tap as possible.
