Description
Product Overview
A Non-Return Valve is one of the most important fittings in any Kenyan plumbing system. Designed to allow water to flow in only one direction, this valve is essential for protecting water pumps and ensuring your storage tank doesn’t drain back into the municipal lines during water shortages.
Whether you are installing a borehole pump in Juja or a rooftop tank in Nairobi, our high-quality brass non-return valve ensures your system runs efficiently and safely.
Non-Return Valve Price in Kenya
If you are installing a pump, you are likely looking for the Non-Return Valve price.
At TujengeKE, we stock heavy-duty brass valves that offer the best durability. While plastic versions exist, a brass non-return valve handles high pressure better and lasts longer, making it the standard choice for plumbers along Thika Road and Kiambu Road.
(Contact us on WhatsApp for prices on 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1-inch valves).
How Does a Non-Return Valve Work?
We often get asked: “How does a non-return valve work?”
It is quite simple. The valve has a spring-loaded gate inside.
- Flow: When water pressure comes from the correct side (e.g., from the pump), the gate opens.
- Block: If the water tries to flow backward (backflow), the gate slams shut immediately.
- Tip: Always look for the arrow symbol on the body during installation to know the flow direction.
Use of Non-Return Valve in Plumbing
Understanding the use of non-return valve in plumbing is critical for protecting your property:
- Protecting Water Pumps: It prevents water from falling back down the pipe when the pump turns off, keeping the pump primed. Essential for boreholes in Ruaka and Syokimau.
- Preventing Tank Drainage: In areas like Githurai, where council water is rationed, a non-return valve stops the water in your roof tank from flowing back out into the empty street pipes when the mains supply is cut.
FAQ: Non-Return Valve vs Check Valve
Many customers are confused about non-return valve vs check valve.
- The Answer: They are the exact same thing! “Check Valve” is just another name for a Non-Return Valve. Whether your plumber asks for one or the other, this is the part you need.
