Uses

Prevents Backflow

• Ensures water flows in only one direction.
• Stops contaminated water from flowing backward into clean water lines, which is especially important when fertilizers or chemicals are injected.

Protects Pumps and Filters

• Installed after pumps to prevent reverse water flow that can damage impellers or clog filters.
• Prevents backpressure damage during pump shutdown or power failure.

Maintains Water Pressure

• Keeps pipelines pressurized even when the system is turned off.
• Helps prevent water hammer, which can damage pipes and fittings.

Used in Fertigation Systems

• Prevents chemicals from flowing backward into water sources or upstream equipment.
• Ensures proper chemical dosing and avoids contamination.

Used in Mainlines and Submains

• Suitable for mainline distribution in fields with drip irrigation or sprinkler systems.
• Ideal where mid-level flow rate (more than 2″ but less than 3″) is needed, such as orchards, vineyards, or row crops.
