A non return valve can sometimes be referred to as a check valve, another use for these is with an addition basket strainer attached to act as a one way filter on a suction or pick up hose supplying a pump, whereby the suction hose drops into a fuel storage tank and is attached to the inlet of a transfer pump, and the check valve and strainer will ensure no large debris from the tank is sucked into the pump and can cause damage, it will also keep the pump primed with fuel, as the non return valve will stop the fuel emptying back into the tank.
