one-way valve
Unidirectional flow controller
A one-way valve allows fluid or gas to flow in only one direction, blocking reverse flow.
Also called a check valve, it appears in plumbing, hydraulics, medical devices, and the human body—heart valves prevent blood from flowing backward.
The one-way valve keeps sewage from backing up into the house.
