The Reich UniQuick 12mm Non Return Check Valve is designed to prevent water flowing backwards through a campervan, motorhome or caravan fresh water system.
Featuring 12mm push-fit connections at both ends, the valve installs directly inline with Reich UniQuick 12mm semi-rigid water pipe. Water is permitted to flow in one direction while reverse flow is automatically prevented.
A non-return valve can be used in a variety of leisure vehicle water installations, including pump systems and other applications where water needs to be prevented from returning through the pipework.
Part of the Reich UniQuick 12mm plumbing system, the valve provides a neat push-fit installation without conventional hose clips, adhesives or welding.
A non-return valve, also commonly known as a check valve, allows water to pass through the valve in one direction while preventing it from flowing back in the opposite direction.
When installing the valve, it is important to ensure that it is fitted in the correct direction of water flow.
The Reich UniQuick system is designed specifically for water installations in leisure vehicles. Its push-fit design allows compatible pipe and fittings to be connected, disconnected and reused without conventional hose clips, adhesives or welding.
Reich states that the UniQuick system uses materials suitable for drinking water and food applications. The pipe system is designed to be resistant to mechanical damage and maintains the full flow of water through compatible fittings without unnecessary restrictions.
Reich rates the UniQuick pipe system as pressure-tight up to 6 bar at 80°C.
The valve allows water to flow in one direction only and prevents it from flowing backwards through the water system. This is why it is also referred to as a check valve.
This valve is designed for 12mm outside diameter Reich UniQuick semi-rigid water pipe.
Yes. This version has two 12mm UniQuick push-fit connections, allowing it to be installed directly inline between two sections of 12mm pipe.
Yes. The terms check valve and non-return valve are commonly used to describe the same type of valve. Its purpose is to allow water to travel in one direction while preventing reverse flow.
Yes. Non-return valves are commonly used within pumped water systems where reverse water flow needs to be prevented. The suitability and position of the valve will depend on the layout of the individual water system.
The valve must be installed so that its permitted direction of flow matches the normal direction of water through the system. Check the flow direction marking on the valve before installation.
Reich states that its UniQuick pipe is pressure-tight up to 6 bar at 80°C when correctly installed with compatible components.
