Compressed Air Flow Control

Non Return Valves

Shop non-return valves and inline check valves for compatible air compressors, receivers and compressed-air systems.

Non-Return Valves for Compressed Air Systems

Non-return valves allow compressed air to flow in the intended direction while helping prevent reverse flow when the compressor stops or system pressure changes.

The current range includes receiver/compressor NRVs and inline check valves with several main and auxiliary connection arrangements.

Match the complete valve reference, thread arrangement, pressure requirement and intended application before ordering.

Do not choose an NRV from appearance alone. Confirm every main and auxiliary connection, flow direction and pressure suitability.
Selection Guide

Choosing the Correct Non-Return Valve

NRVs can look very similar while using different connections, pressure ratings or internal arrangements.

Connection Arrangement

Confirm all male/female main and auxiliary threads.

Pressure Rating

Check the valve rating against the compressor, receiver and system.

Flow Direction

Install the valve in the intended direction of airflow.

Application

Match receiver-mounted, compressor-discharge or inline use correctly.

If replacing an existing valve, use the complete SKU or part reference wherever possible.
System Function

Why Non-Return Valves Matter

A correctly selected NRV helps prevent receiver or downstream pressure flowing back towards the compressor and can support correct unloading and pressure retention.

  • Helps prevent reverse airflow
  • Supports system pressure retention
  • Can support correct compressor unloading
  • Helps protect connected components from unwanted backflow
Installation

Replacement & Installation

NRV replacement should be completed with the system safely isolated and fully depressurised.

  • Confirm thread form and sealing method
  • Check the arrow or marked flow direction
  • Inspect connected pipework and fittings
  • Leak-test after recommissioning
FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a non-return valve do?

It allows compressed air to flow in one direction and helps prevent reverse flow.

Can I replace an NRV just because the threads look the same?

No. Check all connections, pressure suitability, flow direction and the intended application.

Do you stock inline check valves?

Yes. The current range includes inline 3/8" and 1/2" female connection options.

Can you help identify a replacement?

Yes. Send the existing valve reference, compressor model and clear photographs of the connections.

Need Help Choosing a Non-Return Valve?

Send us the existing valve reference, compressor details and connection sizes and our team can help identify the correct option.
