Check valves are used_______________?
Correct answer: D. For unidirectional flow
- A. At high pressure
- B. In bends
- C. For controlling water flow
- D. For unidirectional flow
Explanation
A check valve permits flow in one direction and automatically prevents reverse flow. It is therefore a non-return valve, not primarily a device for regulating flow or locating bends.
