Flap Check Valve is a non-return valve designed to prevent backflow in water and utility pipelines. It operates automatically using a rubber-lined flap, which opens with forward flow and closes immediately when flow reverses.
Flap Check Valves are preferred in low-pressure and gravity flow systems due to their low head loss, simple design, and maintenance-free operation.
