How do CHEXTER Check Valves, high-quality backflow prevention valves from Mueller, work?

What are CHEXTER Check Valves or non-return valves, and how are they used? We have the answers.


Industrial piping systems, steam systems, and fluid transport systems must control flow direction according to design. The occurrence of backflow can cause damage to equipment, pumps, and production processes. Check Valves are therefore essential devices that effectively help prevent these issues.

 

One of the products trusted by industries worldwide is CHEXTER Check Valves from Mueller Steam Specialty, designed for applications requiring high reliability.

What are Check Valves?

Check Valves are valves that function to control fluid movement in only one direction. When fluid pressure flows in the specified direction, the valve opens automatically. However, if backflow occurs, the valve closes immediately to prevent potential damage to the system.

This type of valve does not require an operator or electrical system to function, as it relies on fluid pressure to control opening and closing, making it a simple, robust, and highly reliable device.

How do CHEXTER Check Valves work?

CHEXTER Check Valves operate based on pressure differentials within the system. When the inlet pressure is higher than the outlet pressure, the valve disc is pushed open to allow fluid to pass through continuously.

When pressure drops or backflow occurs, the disc automatically moves back to the closed position. This helps prevent the backflow of water, steam, or various types of fluids quickly, reducing the risk of Water Hammer and protecting system equipment.
