check valves
One-way flow gates
Check valves are one-way valves that allow fluid or gas to flow in only one direction, automatically closing to prevent backflow.
They're essential in plumbing, pumps, and piping systems where reverse flow could cause damage or contamination: The check valve keeps sewage from backing up into the house.
Most operate passively through pressure differentials rather than manual controls.
