Check Valves
Standard check valves, suitable for most applications, have fully guided poppets which always block flow from 2 to 1. They are spring biased closed until sufficient pressure is applied at 1 to open flow to 2. This pressure is commonly called the crack pressure. Several crack pressures are available for each model. Consult check valves section for details. This valve is also available with an integral orifice for free flow in one direction and controlled flow (speed) in the opposite direction.
