How Do Check Valves Affect Water Pressure in the Piping System?

Check valves also known as "one-way" valves are autonomously operated unidirectional valves that allow fluid to flow in a singular direction, thus reducing or preventing backflow. They are created with some key factors in mind, like the fluctuating nature of the closing assembly and pressure changes in the fluid flow upon closing of the flow restrictor. One of the most important considerations to be taken while installing a check valve is the orientation in which it is to be installed.
