Overview
Check valves are non-return valves that allow the flow of fluid or gas in a certain direction but prevent reverse-flow in the opposite direction.
This is an essential requirement in water meters, allowing delivery of fresh water to households whilst preventing reverse-flow and potential contamination of the potable water mains supply.
Gulf manufactures a range of check valves and can design a bespoke new part specific to your requirement.
The many variables possible include outside diameter (typically 8mm to 50mm), length, material choice, opening pressure, whether a single or dual check valve and options such as snap fit. These factors are considered during the design process, taking into account the housing, application and operational conditions.
Gulf, as a supplier of check valves, is experienced in meeting and achieving required industry certifications. Such as AS4020:2018 and AS2845.1.

Control Liquid Flow with a Check Valve Manufacturer in Australia
Check valves are essential components for many industries that pump fluids. These can include water supply, waste water treatment, oil refineries, processing plants and HVAC systems for large buildings where coolant is pumped to high floors.
Check valves are installed to prevent backflow that can cause contamination but to do so in a way that prevents water hammer that can result in damage to equipment. Water hammer occurs when a liquid stops being pumped up a pipe, causing it to fall back so the check valve stops the flow instantly. The resulting surge causes loud noises as the pipe stretches and can lead to considerable damage. Choosing correctly from an Australian check valve supplier such as Gulf Rubber means you can avoid these problems and control liquid flows. Read More
Making Correct Choices from Check Valve Suppliers
Check valves are of different types with varying characteristics:
- Swing check valves are the most common type and have a disc mounted on a shaft. This is designed to permit forward flow but, when the flow reverses, the disc swings back onto a seat and blocks the flow.
- Ball check valves have a ball that moves up to allow liquid to flow and then down onto a seat to prevent reverse flow.
- Tilting disc check valves have a double-flanged body with a disc held in place by a shaft. The disc opens at low flow rates but closes due to gravity when the flow reverses. Slanted seat versions are available that are resistant to water hammer.
When choosing the type of valve you need, consider the following:
- the type of fluid being controlled; in particular, consider whether solids are present, such as in sewage treatment, which some check valves can’t handle
- the speed of liquid flow, since fast opening and closing of the check valve can cause surges
- head loss that can occur due to elevation differences and the frictional resistance of pipes
- characteristics of the valve, particularly its speed of closure that can prevent slamming that leads to system pressure surges
- cost of ownership that should take into account all costs (including maintenance and energy use) over the life of the check valve rather than simply its purchase price.
Science Meets Manufacturing Expertise: Check Valves in Melbourne
The majority of people have no idea of what a check valve is – and they don’t need to. It’s one of those things that only really interests the experts who use them and manufacturers who supply them.
