ABSTRACT:
Check valve apparatus for a fluid flow operates in response to a positive pressure of the fluid to move a spring biased diaphragm and valve element off its seat to allow the fluid to flow through the apparatus. When the pressure of the fluid flow drops, the valve is urged against its seat to provide a positive stop to the fluid flow. The valve apparatus includes a stem extending exteriorly of a housing in which the apparatus is disposed so that the valve may be manually opened by moving the valve off its seat to clear debris without contaminating the hands of the person working on the valve.
