Air check valves allow air to flow in one direction and prevent any flow in the reverse direction. They are widely used in air compressors, pneumatic, and vacuum systems.

An air check valve allows airflow in a singular direction to keep the air moving forward and prevent backflow. Industrial air compressors are the most common application of these valves.
The valve enables air to flow into the storage tank from the compression chamber without backflow disrupting the process. Controlling airflow keeps specific areas pressurized and others depressurized. These miniature valves have a crucial role in the health of your system.
Check valves allow compressed air to flow from the compressor pump to the compressed air storage tank while simultaneously preventing it from backtracking. These valves can be located on your compressor, air tank, or air pipes—basically anything pressurized.
Just as you must with all compressed air equipment, ensure your check valve is sized accordingly. A check valve is useless if it isn’t sized correctly. It won’t be able to maintain pressure levels or keep the air where it is supposed to be.
As long as the equipment is lined up correctly, you should have improved peace of mind. Having a Check Valve keeps your pressure in check and your air where it should be. You are better off having a check valve in place than nothing at all.
