The reason for it’s installation is that sometimes, without a check valve it is possible, when for example, running a hosepipe out to a paddling pool, should anything happen to that water supply and a vacuum be caused in the pipes behind the tap it would be possible for water to be sucked back into the system from the hosepipe and potentially the pool.As with all things in the building industry there are a huge range of products that exist to help make given jobs even easier and this is no different. It is suitable for home, factory, industrial, transport and many outdoor applications where solid strength is a basic requirement.
