Product Description:
The Non-Return Valve is a small yet crucial accessory designed to prevent backflow of water into your air pump or CO₂ system. It ensures one-way airflow, protecting air pumps, CO₂ regulators, and other sensitive equipment from water damage. Made from durable plastic or metal, this valve is easy to install and compatible with standard airline tubing used in aquariums.
