A Non Return Valve (NRV) is a type of valve which allow the flow of Gas in one direction only. the other name of same is check valve or a one-way valve.
A NRV consists of a disc or a puppet which sits on a seat and blocks the flow of Gas in the opposite direction. The disc or puppet is held in place by a spring or gravity, which ensures the valve is closed when there is no flow between . When the pressure on upsteam of the valve greater than the down stream of valve, the disc or puppetl is pushed off its seat, allowing the Gas to flow through the valve. When the pressure on the upstream side drops, the spring or gravity forces the disc or puppet back onto the seat, blocking the flow in the opposite direction.
Over The LPG Non-Return Valve is designed and manufactured to comply with the British Standard BS EN 13175. This standard specifies the requirements and testing procedures for non-return valves for use in LPG supply systems with a maximum operating pressure of up to 30 bar.
All, the non-return valve for LPG is an essential safety device that helps prevent accidents and gas leaks in LPG supply systems. It ensures that the flow of gas is always in one direction and provides an additional layer of safety for those working with LPG.
NRVS are commonly used in gas pipelines, chemical processing, and other industrial applications where the flow of fluid needs to be regulated in one direction only.
Design Code: Bsen 13175/ ISO14245

Sizes: 1/2"BSPFx 1/2"BSPM, 3/4" BSPFX 3/4BSPF
Benefits of LPG Non-Return Valve
Prevent Backflow: Non-return valves prevent backflow of gas in a piping system. Non-return valves ensure that flow remains in one direction.
Reduce Risk of Contamination: Non-return valves reduce the risk of contamination by preventing gase from flowing back into the LP Gas Cylinder.
Increase Safety: Non-return valves increase safety by preventing spoilege of LPG in Case of Rupture of Cylinder Flexible Hose.
Low Maintenance: NRV are low-maintenance components that require minimal upkeep. These are self-operating, no external power sources or human intervention to function properly.
Q: Are LPG non-return valves mandatory in LPG supply systems?
Ans: Yes, LPG non-return valves are mandatory in LPG supply systems to ensure the safety of the system and prevent gas leak at the time of Rupture of Pigtail.
Q: What is the purpose of an LPG non-return valve?
Ans: The purpose of an LPG non-return valve is to prevent the reverse flow of LPG gas in case of a pressure drop or interruption in the supply line. This is essential in preventing accidents and gas leaks.
Q: How does an LPG non-return valve work?
A: An LPG non-return valve works by allowing the flow of LPG gas in one direction, but automatically closing off the valve if there is a pressure drop or interruption in the supply line.
Q: Can LPG non-return valves be used in other gas supply systems?
Ans: LPG non-return valves are designed specifically for LPG supply systems and may not be suitable for use with other types of gases.
Q: What happens if the LPG non-return valve fails?
Ans: If the LPG non-return valve fails, it can lead to a reverse flow of gas in the supply line/ Cylinders which can cause gas leaks and potential accidents. It is important to inspect and maintain the valve regularly to prevent such failures.
Q: Can LPG non-return valves be repaired if they fail?
Ans : LPG non-return valves Not repaireble . if the valve is severely damaged or corroded, it may need to be replaced.
Q: How do I choose the right LPG non-return valve for my system?
Ans: The selection of the right LPG non-return valve depends on the specific requirements of the system, such as the maximum operating pressure, the flow rate, and the compatibility of materials.
Q: What is the difference between an LPG non-return valve and a regular non-return valve?
Ans: The main difference between an LPG non-return valve and a regular non-return valve is the Presure rating, working temp. and materials used in their construction. LPG non-return valves are made of materials that are compatible with LPG and are resistant to corrosion, whereas regular non-return valves may not be suitable for use with LPG.
Q: Do I need to install an LPG non-return valve in my LPG supply system?
Ans: Yes, it is recommended to install an LPG non-return valve in your LPG supply system to ensure that gas flows in only one direction and prevent accidents or gas leaks.
Q: How often should I inspect and maintain my LPG non-return valve?
Ans: The frequency of inspection and maintenance of the LPG non-return valve depends on the manufacturer's recommendations . However, it is recommended to inspect and maintain the Non Return valve at least once in a year to ensure that it is in proper working condition and meets the necessary safety standards.
