Big aluminum check valves?
I have a bunch of check valves, look like 1 1/4 NPT. They are check
valves, opened by low pressure, and are made of aluminum. Would anyone know what they are called and for sort of application. I looked and could not find anything similar. |

Checks are usually inline, with foot valves having only one end threaded. Foot valves are used in well and sump lines for keeping the line primed. -- I hate being bipolar ....... It's awesome! |
