Check-valve for miniGaLF

A check valve, clack valve, non-return valve, reflux valve, retention valve or one-way valve is a valve that normally allows fluid to flow through it in only one direction.

Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. There are various types of check valves used in a wide variety of applications. Check valves are often part of common household items. Although they are available in a wide range of sizes and costs. Check valves work automatically. An important concept in check valves is the cracking pressure which is the minimum differential upstream pressure between inlet and outlet at which the valve will operate. The Swagelok check valve can be set to a cracking pressure of 3.5 to 10.4 Bar. For the miniGaLF the 3.5 Bar will make sure the pump is protected from any damage.
