Non-return valves are used to reduce back pressure when pumping water through the drill string, or behind a rock bit.
Our Non-return Valves have a minimum number of parts to give long and trouble-free service life.
The valve section is manufactured entirely from brass to resist corrosion and normally the only service required is occasional replacement of the O-rin seal and spring.
Top and bottom adaptors are supplied to customer requirements in any combination listed below.
