The V&G Compression Single Check Valve from Evolve is a vital safety component for any plumbing system, designed to ensure water flows in only one direction. By preventing reverse flow, this valve helps protect clean water supplies from contamination, making it a trusted choice for both domestic and commercial installations.
This valve is ideal for systems where there's a risk of backflow—such as appliances connected to the mains water supply or in central heating systems where cross-contamination must be avoided. It works quietly in the background, ensuring that water continues to flow in the correct direction while keeping your system safe and hygienic.
Installation couldn’t be easier. With compression fittings on both ends, there’s no need for soldering or heat. Just insert your copper pipe into the valve’s ends and tighten the compression nuts with a spanner. It’s clean, straightforward, and perfect for new installations or retrofits where time and accessibility are a concern.
The valve is available in both 15mm and 22mm sizes to suit a range of plumbing systems and comes WRAS approved (Approval Number: 1304908), ensuring it meets strict UK standards for use in potable water systems.
