The Cask Beer Engine Check Valve is a non-return valve designed for use with traditional hand-pull beer engines and cask ale dispense systems. It allows beer to flow towards the beer engine while helping to prevent reverse flow through the product line.
Featuring a 3/8" push-fit inlet and 1/2" smooth stem outlet, the valve can be incorporated into compatible cask ale pipework and beer engine installations.
A beer engine check valve, also known as a non-return valve or NRV, controls the direction of product flow within the cask ale line.
The internal valve allows beer to travel in the intended direction towards the hand pull while restricting flow back through the line.
It is commonly used as part of a professional cask ale dispense system in pubs, bars, taprooms and other traditional real ale installations.
Common applications include:
When the beer engine is operated, the check valve allows product to travel through the line in the required direction.
The valve then helps prevent beer from flowing backwards through the pipework, maintaining the intended direction of flow within the cask dispense system.
Correct orientation is therefore important when installing the valve.
The valve features a 3/8" push-fit connection on one side and a 1/2" smooth stem on the other.
The smooth stem is designed to insert into a compatible push-fit connection, while the 3/8" side accepts compatible 3/8" OD pipe.
Always check the connection sizes and flow direction against your existing beer engine installation before ordering.
This product is designed as a non-return valve for compatible cask beer engine systems. It is not a flow controller or pressure regulator.
Correct cask ale dispense depends on the complete installation, including beer engine condition, pipework, cellar temperature and cask setup.
