Vacuum Check Valve: Description and Operation

Vacuum Check Valve

PURPOSE

The vacuum check valve allows vacuum to be applied in one direction only. 

The check valve is designed to maintain a steady vacuum application to a component or within a vacuum line. This helps to reduce any rapid
fluctuations and/or sudden drops in the vacuum signal, due to engine load or acceleration.

 
OPERATION

When vacuum is applied to one side of the check valve, it should hold. When applied to the other side of the check valve, vacuum should not be
drawn allowing free airflow.
