Industrial valves are used across all industries and form the backbone of all piping systems and networks for controlling flow. There is a huge reliance on mechanical industrial valves for everyday operations across many sectors. Since they do not rely on external power, they are essential safety components preventing backflow, siphonage, air accumulation or for isolating systems during breakdown or maintenance.
Backflow Preventer
Backflow preventers stop backflow from happening when there is undesirable reversal of flow of a liquid, gas, or suspended solid into a potable water supply during backsiphonage and backpressure. Backflow preventers function similarly to double check valves with the addition of a reduced pressure zone assembly. When a backflow occurs, both check valves close and the relief valve opens to release the water.
