Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the main difference between a backflow preventer and a check valve?

A backflow preventer is designed to stop contaminated water from flowing backward into clean water supplies, typically featuring multiple check valves and test ports. A check valve permits fluid flow in one direction to protect equipment but does not guarantee protection from contamination.

Yes, we offer OEM and ODM services. Our engineering team works closely with you to meet your specific dimensional, material, and certification requirements.

What is the typical lead time for order delivery?

Standard valves are shipped within 15-25 business days. Customized orders may vary; please inquire for detailed timelines. We support expedited shipping options.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept T/T (Telegraphic Transfer), L/C at sight, PayPal (for sample orders), and Western Union.
