A check valve is a one-way valve through which the flow may pass freely one way, but if the flow changes direction, the valve will close to protect the pipes, other valves and pumps from backflow.
A chemical hose is a specific type of flexible pipe used to transport chemicals, slurries and other substances with an electrical charge. Chemical hoses are self-neutralizing. The inner tube of the chemical hose carries the chemical, while the outer sleeve carries any charge to the ground. This makes it perfect for carrying corrosive or explosive substances that could cause damage if anything goes wrong during transport.
Flanged pump fittings connect hydraulic equipment to metal tubes or hoses. These fittings come in many different styles depending on the application.
