Tilting-disc inconel check valve Check valve symbol on piping and instrumentation diagrams. The arrow shows the flow direction. Vertical lift check valve. A check valve, non-return valve, reflux valve, retention valve, foot valve, or one-way valve is a valve that normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. [1]
Virginia. -class submarine. Only limited by food and maintenance requirements.
