PN16 Check Valves
The PN16 Check Valve is designed to provide reliable backflow prevention in low to medium-pressure systems. Engineered to automatically open when fluid flows in the intended direction and close when reverse flow is detected, this valve protects pipelines and equipment from potential damage caused by reverse flow.
