Grooved Check Valve

A grooved check valve is a type of check valve that is designed to prevent backflow by automatically closing when fluid reverses direction. They are often used in wet pipe systems, building riser pipes, and sprinkler systems for fire protection. Grooved check valves can be installed vertically or horizontally and are available in a variety of materials and sizes.
