ABSTRACT:
Within a check valve, a spring urges a poppet into the closed position. If the fluid flow through the valve attempts to reverse, the poppet will seal against the valve seat by a combination of spring resistance and fluid pressure, thereby preventing all or a significant portion of fluid flow back through the valve body. The poppet is retained in the valve body by a retainer or other suitable part or combination of parts that can be removed for service of the check valve assembly.
