This check valve allows fluid or air to flow in one direction only, preventing backflow and helping maintain proper system operation in chemical feeders, automation, pressure lines, and other applications that require controlled directional flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Part Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis check valve is used with 1\/4\" diameter tubing commonly found in automatic chemical feed systems, vacuum switches, heaters, controllers, and other pool\/spa devices where one-way flow must be maintained.
