This device belongs to safety devices and its purpose is to provide a free flow of liquid in one direction and seal it off in the event of a reverse flow in the pipes.
The design is simple and makes it easy to make a check valve with your own hands from scrap materials.
For some pump designs, which include widely used centrifugal pumps, the presence of a check valve is mandatory. The impeller of such units cannot suck in water if it is not in the pump housing (snail).
The check valve, as applied to borehole pumps, is installed directly at the point of water intake, that is:
In various plumbing systems, valves of various designs are used, such as:
According to the material of manufacture, they are divided into:
In our case, brass products are most often used.
To make a check valve, we will use a standard tee with a female connecting thread.
Before installing it, you need to prepare a seat for the locking ball in the following order:
When selecting a material for this product, a stainless unannealed wire with a diameter of 0.5 - 0.8 mm is preferable. In this state, it remains quite elastic and retains this property for a long time, at the same time, when annealed, it will quickly lose them. You can do it like this:
Obviously, the technology for manufacturing a check valve does not involve any complicated operations and is quite affordable to make a check valve on your own. The disadvantage of the design is the large overall dimensions, since a filter must also be installed on the intake pipe. Thus, its placement in the well is limited by its size - the inner diameter of the casing.
The list is not long:
Its design allows it to be used reliably inside the well. Installed directly on the pump outlet if the submersible version is used. When using an outdoor unit, the check valve is placed at the lower end of the intake pipe.
An inlet pipe is installed in the outlet of the submersible pump. A ball is selected depending on its inner diameter. The bed for the ball is prepared in the same way as for the spring valve in order to prevent water from flowing at high column pressure in the intake pipe (hose). The outlet is attached to the body from the opposite side and connected to the intake hose.
A design feature is the need to hold the ball in the body in order to prevent it from rising by the flow to the outlet. Otherwise, it will simply cut off the water.
This can be done by installing a wire stop. A through hole with a diameter of 2 - 2.5 mm is drilled in the body, a wire made of copper or aluminum is inserted into it. The ends of the insert must be riveted, and this must be done with high quality in order to ensure the tightness of the case. Basically, all that remains is to put the valve back in place before running the system into the casing.
When the pump is off, the ball under its own weight closes the bottom hole. When it turns on, negative pressure is created in the intake pipe, which raises the ball and opens the water inlet.
It is such a device:
It is quite possible to make such a device yourself if you have access to turning and milling work. The simplicity of the design ensures its long-term operation.
The price of various valves ranges from 700 to 3000 rubles. And made from scrap materials at home will cost 300 rubles. Plus its own work, and even that is not much.
Almost every one of us wants to have free access to hot water all the time and not to depend on seasonal outages, repair work, or neighbors. It is difficult to imagine a comfortable living without hot water supply. To ensure uninterrupted availability of hot water, you should definitely buy and install a water heater at home.
The most popular water heating devices used in domestic conditions today are electric models of boilers. Any apartment can be equipped with similar units. An electric boiler is convenient and easy to operate, besides, it can be installed without additional procedures in agreement with the competent services and without drawing up a project. All the installation work required to install a water heater, each owner can carry out independently.
However, in order to carry out the installation of the water heater correctly, avoiding errors that lead to serious consequences, you should carefully read the process features associated with such a part as a safety valve.
Failure to install this small, inexpensive and affordable part can lead to accidents that are so often shown in TV coverage and extreme news broadcasts. It is about such consequences that the housing and emergency services always warn us.
The piping of an electric water heating unit must necessarily include a non-return valve.
Before talking about what the valve device is, it is necessary to clarify that it will not just be a check valve for a water heater, but a safety valve, in which several functions are combined at once. Both devices are very similar to each other, but there is one significant difference, which is a determining factor in ensuring the safety of using an electric boiler.
To understand what is the difference between these two details, you need to understand each separately:
In order to understand why it is still necessary to install a check valve and what is its importance, it is worth considering specific situations where it and the system are working properly, as well as moments of failure or absence of this part.
After installing the electric water heater and its piping, the process of filling with water begins. Cold water opens and a hot tap on one of the mixers. The pressure level inside the pipe of the plumbing system is sufficient for the check valve to open so that liquid can pass through it unhindered. When the tank is gradually filled, the air will be displaced. The moment the liquid flow passes from the mixer signals the full filling of the container, therefore, the liquid supply stops. At the same time, the pressure in the water heater and in the water supply is approximately the same.
Only a comprehensive return safety valve should be purchased and installed in your home. Only with its help it will be possible to ensure the safe operation of the water heating device.
Today, manufacturers of modern water heaters put a certain resource in the device, thanks to which it can function up to specific pressure indicators. This information is spelled out in the technical documentation. If the pressure level approaches the maximum allowable reading, a spring will be compressed on the valve, after which excess fluid is discharged into the drain pipe. The result is that the work of the system will return to normal without tragic consequences.
If in such a situation there is no valve, then a bomb effect will be created. The pressure inside the container will increase, and in conditions of isolation, the temperature indicator of boiling water increases. The increasing pressure can deform the walls of the tank, form cracks in the enamel or weld. Then, with a sharp drop in pressure, the temperature indicator of water boiling will decrease, and all the liquid will boil with lightning speed, and a large amount of vapor will be released. The result is a huge explosion.
Therefore, it is very important to obtain the correct safety valve that matches the specifications of the water heater.
Before installing and putting into use any electrical device on the territory of your home, you should carefully familiarize yourself with all the features of the work, thereby ensuring the safety of yourself and your loved ones.
The check valve cannot be called a basic necessity, but in some cases it is truly necessary. An example is the construction of a vacuum chamber, when it is precisely a check valve that needs to be used to pump out air. Of course, you can buy it in specialized stores, but you can also build it at home, which we propose to do right now.
First of all, let's watch a video on making a homemade valve:
To make a check valve, we need:
- threaded fitting 15;
- plumbing hose for toilets with two fittings;
- 3 mm bolt 4-5 cm long;
- two nuts;
- a piece of rubber from a car camera.
Let's start manufacturing the check valve from its main part. For this we need our bolt and a piece of rubber. We cut out a round gasket from the rubber and make a hole in the middle to pass a bolt through it.
We put on the bolt one by one a piece of iron, a nut, a washer, a piece of rubber and a guide.
The blanks are ready, which means that you can start assembling the check valve.
With the assembly of the main part of the valve, everything is clear, since we have done this part above. After that, we insert this part into the threaded fitting so that the elastic comes out slightly from the bottom of the fitting. If necessary, you can adjust the length by screwing or unscrewing the nut on the bolt.
On the lower part of the fitting we tighten the second nut with the second fitting. Here the author gives preference to the fitting that is used on gas pipes in houses.
From above, the author winds a small faucet, but this is not necessary. The faucet can be freely replaced with an ordinary nut, however, you should pay attention to the fact that the diameter of the upper hole of the nut is less than the diameter of the fitting in order to fix the iron rectangle.
Often, the ventilation system works ineffectively and part of the air enters from the ventilation duct back into the apartment. The effect of reverse draft of ventilation is especially noticeable in kitchens or in bathrooms of apartments. Check valves will help fight unpleasant odors.
Non-return valves in ventilation are called a group of protective devices to prevent the rotation of the air flow in exhaust ventilation systems or simply reverse ventilation in apartments. The valve allows air to flow in the desired direction, inhibiting reverse movement. Check valves for exhaust ventilation work automatically and this is the main plus of their use. In ventilation systems of residential and public buildings, check valves are used to prevent air from entering the common ventilation duct into separate rooms.
Exhaust check valves operate in natural and mechanical draft systems. The valve prevents insects and dust from entering the household ventilation.
Drafts may occur if the system is not fitted with a non-return valve.
The main structural part of any check valve for natural ventilation is the shutter. It is he who does not let air pass in an undesirable direction.
There are two types of round and rectangular non-return valves for ventilation:
The first ones are used to work with liquid media. The latter are designed specifically for ventilation. They are available with a horizontal or vertical axis of rotation, as well as single-leaf and double-leaf.
There are rectangular and round check valves for ventilation with different cross-sectional diameters.
The main parameter when choosing a check valve is its capacity.
Natural ventilation check valves are easy to manufacture and very reliable.
They are made of plastic or metal, the material is selected depending on the features of the system. In vertical pipelines, the air flow moves vertically, so the valve is mounted horizontally to ensure correct operation of the valve.
The most commonly used round and rectangular check ventilation valves with a capacity of 4 to 6 m / s. They work quietly and efficiently. They are installed both independently and complete with an exhaust device.
All rectangular or round check valves for ventilation are also divided into:
The presence of an electric drive at the check valve for ventilation requires the participation of an electrician in its connection.
Although the device is cheap, a check valve for ventilation can be assembled with your own hands, but more on that later.
The check valve design is very simple: the flapper disc is attached to an axle, allowing it to swing freely. A plumb line is attached to cover the valve when the fan stops. Ventilation valves can be rectangular, round or square.
Industrial models differ from check valves for domestic ventilation in diameter and material, they are classified in the explosion-proof category, although the device is the same.
The diameter of a round or rectangular check valve for industrial ventilation can be from 125 to 1000 mm, they are installed in explosion-hazardous industries. The double blade butterfly valve is widely used.
Butterfly devices are made more often of metal, the axis for attaching the blades is installed in the middle of the section. As soon as the fan stops, the blades cover the section and the reverse draft of ventilation in the apartment stops. The diameters of the butterfly valves range from 100 to 315 mm.
The improved version of the "butterfly" is equipped with seals that reduce the noise during the operation of the blades.
It is very often used for ventilation in the kitchen a check valve in the form of shutters or petals (inertial grille). There are several blades in the structure, they are located on the horizontal axes.
When purchasing a check valve for kitchen ventilation or a bathroom, you need to take into account the speed of air movement, because the shutter must respond to even the slightest flow. Poor draft in the system is the main problem when organizing a natural ventilation system. Therefore, most owners combine a valve with an exhaust fan. To cover the structure from the side of the room, a beautiful ventilation grill is installed.
But for the natural ventilation system to work flawlessly, it is important to choose the right check valve. Otherwise, reverse draft in the ventilation of an apartment building will continue to poison the existence of residents.
Pay attention to:
You can purchase a ready-made kit of a fan and a non-return valve. Here it is necessary to pay attention to the fan power. For the kitchen, it is suitable with a coefficient of 10, and for the bathroom and toilet, 7 will be enough.
When purchasing a check valve for household ventilation of a private house, it is important to take into account the climatic conditions. For example, a "butterfly" will be covered with ice faster than a uniaxial structure. In private houses, in contrast to apartment buildings, the tenants are annoyed not by the reverse draft in the apartment, but by blowing wind into the ventilation and the penetration of rodents into it.
Do-it-yourself installation of a ventilation check valve is especially relevant for residents of the last floors of houses, where the problem of tightening "foreign" odors through the air ducts of the general exchange system is common.
We offer an improved version of the motorized ventilation check valve with a fan.
For the base of the check valve for kitchen ventilation, thick plastic or textolite is suitable. You will need a plate overlapping the outlet of the exhaust duct and no more than 4 mm thick. Markings are made on the plate: a grill the size of a fan hole, as well as holes for fastening to the wall (in the corners) and for attaching the fan.
The larger the mesh of the lattice, the denser the material for the sashes should be!
To prevent air from "walking" between the base and the fan, a rubber gasket is used.
To prevent not only back draft in the ventilation of the apartment of an apartment building, but also the penetration of insects, a small plastic mesh or even nylon from tights is attached to the base grill. The latter is easily replaceable. And so that the residents are not disturbed by the vibration from the fan motor, rubber shock absorbers are used during installation.
Rubber dampers for quiet fan operation
Sashes are used from thick polyethylene (not less than 0.1mm). The film should be perfectly smooth, the smallest waviness will break the tightness of the ventilation, and the reverse draft in the apartment of an apartment building will resume. The sash can be fixed on tape with a fabric base. Detailed instructions for making flaps for a plastic ventilation check valve in the video:
We recommend cutting the flaps in place, from an already glued piece of film. Moreover, if it is slightly wrinkled during operation, it must be changed. Two flaps are cut together only at the very end of the process. You need to cut with a sharp construction blade.
To avoid a gap between the homemade plastic ventilation check valve and the wall, use self-adhesive foam tape.
During operation, it is necessary to periodically clean or change the plastic mesh clogged with dust.
When properly manufactured, such a homemade plastic check valve for ventilation will last for more than one year. And the tenants of the apartment will get rid of the back draft typical for the ventilation of apartment buildings for a long time.

The ventilation system is designed to supply the room with clean air and remove waste, saturated with odors and dust.
But what to do if the ventilation shaft, on the contrary, becomes a source of extraneous "aromas", or in a strong wind, frosty air blows into it from the street? We will figure out why reverse thrust can occur, how to deal with it and how to make a check valve for ventilation with our own hands.
A ventilation check valve is needed to prevent the draft from overturning. Why this can happen:
Check for proper traction with a candle flame or a sheet of paper. You need to open the window, and bring the sheet to the ventilation hole. If the flow is "correct", the paper will not fall, but will remain hanging on the wall.
The design of any check valve for natural ventilation is based on a shutter that opens with a flow only in one direction. When changing the direction of movement, the shutter, on the contrary, slams and stops the reverse.
For ventilation systems, disk-shaped structures are used. They can be of several models.
Execution material:
Metallic ones are purchased less frequently today. Although they are more durable, they can become covered with condensation droplets, rust, and pop a lot when working.
Plastic models are lighter and quieter.
Based on where the ventilation check valve is used, it can be:
Simple valves are installed indoors. If the device comes into contact with either warm or cold air, it is equipped with heating to avoid the formation of ice.
The valve structure can be:
Vent valve diaphragms
Single-leaf is a damper fixed on a horizontal axis, which opens and closes the passage, turning with an air flow.
The membrane variant is very sensitive. It uses a thin flexible flap that deflects, even from small, natural draft.
The butterfly has an axis in the center of a circular hole and two flaps that return to their original position thanks to the springs. Used on powerful forced installations.
A "louver" is a set of blades on multiple axes that are horizontally positioned. Other model names are lobe-type ventilation check valve or gravity check valve.
By the type of section of the ventilation duct or hole, you can choose:
The size of the product can also be different.
During the closing of the flaps, there is a clap. Improved models are supplemented with a seal that dampens the noise from the operation of the device.
For forced draft systems, it is important to select a device with a suitable capacity. And where natural air circulation is used, many valves will not work, since the weak draft may not be enough to open it!
Often, to take up the reproduction of this element of ventilation, the owner is forced not only by the desire to save money, but also by the fact that it is difficult to find an industrial model that natural draft can cope with.
The homemade version is very sensitive, even to the slightest air movement. And everything is done very simply.
For the manufacture of a membrane valve for ventilation, you will need:
Making a ventilation valve step by step
Film requirements:
Steps instruction:
For greater comfort, you can equip a homemade valve with a mesh or nylon filter. It will prevent insects from entering the house.
The price of a valve for ventilation of this type (depending on size) is from 200 to 900 rubles. The cross section can be from 10 cm and more.
Rectangular air ducts are less common, so it can be more difficult and more expensive to choose a valve for it. For example, a frame of petal blinds measuring 30 by 15 cm can cost about 2 - 3.5 thousand rubles.
We can say that a check valve is not the most necessary part in a ventilation system. She often works so well that she does not remind of herself.
But if there are malfunctions, wind blowing, the penetration of foreign odors into the home, etc. - installing a valve for ventilation will solve all the problems at once. Instead of purchasing expensive models or flapping butterflies, you should try to make the simplest valve yourself.

During operation of the ventilation system, the direction of the air draft may change. In this case, the effect will be the opposite - bad odors will penetrate into the room, air exchange will stop. To provide this, you must make your own check valve for ventilation or purchase a ready-made factory model.
The change in the direction of thrust can occur for various reasons. It is important that this does not affect the indoor microclimate. Most often, a similar situation appears for complex ventilation systems, where several pipes are docked into a common line. A change in pressure in one of them leads to a problem.
Installing a check valve is necessary to prevent the following situations:
A correctly installed non-return valve will automatically shut off the flow, thereby preventing the air from changing direction. As soon as the direction changes to the correct one, the shutter or damper will open under the influence of pressure.
Read how to install a supply valve here.
The check valve for ventilation is a shut-off and control device located in a small branch pipe. It should be installed at the joints of the pipes, at the outlet of the line. It is important that the diameter of the closing shutter is 0.5-1 mm less than the cross-section of the pipeline.
For self-manufacturing of a check air valve, it is recommended to take one of the factory models as a basis. They differ in design and can be of the following types:
For self-production, it is recommended to choose a design with a curtain, since it is easiest to implement at home. If the pipeline is rectangular, it is best to stop at one or two-piece valve.
It should be noted right away that a home-made design cannot be more reliable than a factory one. The average cost of a check valve for a steel pipeline will be 350 rubles, for a plastic one - 320 rubles. If the desire to do it yourself is associated with a non-standard configuration of the highway, you need to choose the optimal scheme.
To do this, you will need to perform the following actions:
This technology allows you to make a safety device for any ventilation systems.
The video shows a simple example of making a check air valve from available tools:

The air valve plays a key role in the ventilation of the apartment. If the ventilation installed in the apartment does not function well, then part of the air flow returns from the common building channel back to the living quarters. Accordingly, an unpleasant smell is clearly felt in the apartment. This phenomenon is typical for bathrooms, bathrooms and kitchens. The problem can be solved by installing a check valve in the ventilation system. You can purchase a factory product or make a structure yourself.
A device that is installed in the ventilation system to prevent the return of air flow is called a check valve. In other words, reverse thrust is eliminated. In addition, this design excludes insects from entering the apartment, protects living quarters from dust and drafts. Regardless of the type and design features, the check valve works in automatic mode and does not need additional settings.
The principle of operation of such devices is quite simple. In the center of the valve there is an axis on which the damper is attached. When the hood is in operation, the damper opens slightly, and the air flow from the apartment goes into the general ventilation shaft. When the fan is turned off, the damper gravity shuts off the duct flow, preventing back draft. Butterfly valves are widely used in apartment buildings. This double-leaf design can be from 100 to 315 millimeters in diameter.
These devices may differ in form, principle of operation and method of installation. Let's dwell on each type in more detail.
The non-return valve for ventilation can have a heating function. This option prevents frost and condensation. The effectiveness of this design in apartment buildings is questionable.
Ventilation in apartments is not in contact with the outside air, so heating is unlikely to be needed. In addition, such devices are more expensive and more difficult to install with your own hands. Therefore, do not succumb to the persuasion of sellers and buy regular models.
The functionality of the entire ventilation system will depend on the choice of the check valve. Therefore, the choice of these devices must be approached very responsibly. The first thing to pay attention to is the movement of the damper. It should rotate freely on the transverse axis. Thus, the non-return valve will be triggered even by a slight movement of air.
The second parameter worthy of attention is the cost of the product. Usually the price is made up of the following points:
Almost 30% of the price depends on the last parameter. It is worth considering that the valves made by renowned manufacturers are distinguished by the quality of workmanship. Therefore, it is not worth saving when choosing. In addition, the more expensive models usually come with an exhaust fan.
The efficiency of the check valve depends on the power of the fan. If the draft of the air flow is insufficient, the check valve will function as a conventional damper. The hood power must be commensurate with the internal volume of the room. For example, an exhaust fan with a power factor of 10 is suitable for the kitchen, and "sevens" can be used for the bath and toilet.
If you have no desire to spend money on purchasing a check valve, you can do it yourself. It is worth clarifying right away that it will not be possible to completely avoid costs, the exhaust fan will still have to be bought. So, the scheme for manufacturing a check valve is as follows:
Thus, we have a homemade membrane with a check valve function. The structure works as follows:
This design can last for several years, not inferior in its performance to factory models.
It is worth noting that not only unpleasant odors, but also small insects can penetrate from the ventilation into the apartment. To prevent this phenomenon, it is recommended to glue a fine-mesh plastic mesh or a piece of nylon before installing the sashes. The latter option is preferable. Capron is easier to clean and easier to replace if necessary.
In fact, it does not really matter which version of the check valve you install: purchased or homemade. The main thing is that it provides reliable protection of the apartment from unpleasant odors.
Each private or multi-apartment building has a system. The most important function of ventilation is to constantly circulate and supply fresh air, while at the same time removing dust deposits and odors.
Sometimes it happens that instead of a stream of air, a stench comes from the neighbors.
Here you understand that a reverse-acting valve for ventilation devices is a must. In this article, we will consider all the details of the check valve topic.
The axle with blades is the key content of this part. The curtain, under a certain influence of air, passes it only in a certain direction.
In the event of a cessation of air flow, the blades are closed. The valve itself regulates both the flow of air masses and the volume of clean air.
When developing , be it or, we recommend that you analyze a number of reasons why a check valve should be installed in your room.
The key question.
It's simple:
The plug should go out if the air flow is correct.
It should also be noted that it is better to provide for the installation of a check valve on and installation. Since its price is insignificant, as well as during the operation of ventilation, clogging, deformation and environmental influences are possible, which in turn will lead to a change in the air flow in the ventilation itself.
That's when you have to buy a valve, take the time and embed it into a working system.
Plastic (plastic). These are some of the cheapest and most commercial devices. They are often used in office buildings, houses, cottages. They look very attractive, and thanks to the rich color palette of the material, any design can be realized.
Galvanized steel... Widespread in industry and administrative buildings. These models are very durable, this allows them to cope with their task for a long time and with high quality. Valves made of steel do not have such a disadvantage as fire safety, since steel does not burn, unlike plastic.
Combination of materials... The body of the device is made of zinc-plated steel, and the shutter or blades are made of plastic. It is widely used in rooms with natural ventilation. This valve reacts even to small wind movements, providing a high-quality and natural exchange of air.
It all depends, of course, on the shape of the duct. It should be noted that for round valves intended for household use they are produced with a diameter of 100 - 200 mm. - these are the most common sizes. And for industrial systems it is possible to issue 150 - 1000 mm.
Moreover, for everyday life there are mainly round valves, and for industry, rectangular ones.
Now let's look at the most important classification.
Petal valve
The valve is one-leaf gravitational action. Air, moving from the room, acts on the leaf, fixed on the axis of the valve body. Under the action of this force, the sash opens. In the event of a reverse thrust, the sash will close on its own under the force of gravity.
The presence of one sash makes the design simple and reliable.
When installing this type of valves, a level should be used, since it should only be mounted in a vertical or horizontal position.
This design has two versions:
Butterfly valve or double-leaf valve using springs
In structure, it is similar to a petal valve, only it has two petals located on the same axis. Hence the resemblance to an insect, from which it got its name.
They are usually used in forced ventilation systems.
That is, when the ventilation is turned on, the blades open, and when turned off, they close with the installed springs. Such a device can even be positioned at an angle. Check the sensitivity of the curtains before purchasing. Recently, the sensitivity adjustment is done according to the force of the compression of the springs.
Gravity grid valve
In appearance, they resemble blinds, which can be positioned both vertically and horizontally. When you turn on the ventilation, the air opens and begins to flow, as soon as you turn it off, the blinds close.
Most often placed in walls for protection. The main advantage of these types of valves is their use at subzero temperatures in outdoor conditions.
Flexible Diaphragm Valves
The principle of operation is also similar to that of a petal valve. A thin flexible plate is used only as a curtain, which, when closed, fits snugly around the perimeter.
They are placed mainly in rooms with natural ventilation, since the membrane is very sensitive. The disadvantage is the fact that the membrane will deform if there is excessive reverse thrust.
It should be borne in mind that the cost of standard check valves is not high, and there is no point in making the valve yourself.
And if the ventilation boxes are non-standard, then you should think about how to make a check valve for ventilation with your own hands.
The simplest mechanism that you can make yourself is a petal or diaphragm valve.
Instead of a curtain, you should choose a rigid plate of metal or plastic. To prevent the passage of air flow, the curtain should fit as tightly as possible to the edges of the case. And also the curtain should be firmly fixed in order to exclude sounds and friction.
A grill should be installed on the ventilation hole so that the membrane does not deform. That's all the structure is ready for use.
First, you need to decide on the number of valves that we will install.
So, if you have the only place for air intake, and it enters the mine further, then back draft can be prevented with the help of one valve in this system.
If ventilation is complex and involves several ventilation openings, then a rule should be applied that regulates the number and location of non-return valves.
The check valve should be installed in easily accessible places so that it can be quickly and conveniently serviced and cleaned.
Recently, manufacturers of fans and hoods have already provided check valves in their designs. As a result, the installation of additional valves is impractical.
simple, we buy a valve taking into account the shape and size of the hole, apply it and mark the places for drilling. We drill, apply and secure, having previously missed the edges of the valve.
It should be noted that for the streets, it is best to buy valves with metal elements. If suddenly ice forms on them, they can be easily cleaned mechanically, and the plastic is likely to break.
If you are installing a slip-on check valve in front of the indoor fan, the process is similar to the one described above.
And if you need to install a check valve inside the ventilation shaft, then you will need to dismantle the ventilation device.
Now you do not have to worry about the penetration of unwanted odors into your room.
Finally, I would like to say that at the moment there is a huge selection of models, shapes and sizes of check valves for ventilation on the market.
But it is worth remembering that you should buy from bona fide manufacturers and then you will receive a device with the appropriate properties and quality assurance.
It should also be remembered that if you approach the selection of a check valve in bad faith, this can lead to poor air exchange.
And in order to prevent this from happening, you should follow a number of rules when choosing this device:
As you can see, the ventilation check valve plays an important role in ensuring a comfortable climate in any room.
When using complex ventilation systems, it is important to correctly place check valves to block air return.
Then the combination of hoods and fans will work flawlessly. Indeed, the service life and the quality of ventilation as a whole depend on the correct installation of these devices.
