• Check Valves are often the most forgotten valves
  in the industry. However, these valves are one of
  the most integral parts of any system. They
  ensure smooth and safe operation and are found in
  almost all industrial plants and even homes.
  Testing these valves is essential to make sure
  they are functioning smoothly.

What are Check Valves?

• These valves are also called one-way valves and
  are used to prevent the reverse flow of fluids
  and gas within the system. They come with two
  ports. One port is used for entry and the other
  for the exit. The valves are not controlled by
  any human or a system and most of these valves
  dont even come with any valve handle or stem.

Purpose of Check Valves

• The primary purpose of a check valve is to
  prevent any reverse flow of liquids in the
  process. They work by lightening the load of the
  concerned water pump, preventing any
  overspilling, and guarding the water against
  getting contaminated. This makes them one of the
  most vital parts of any plumbing system. These
  valves perform a range of functions and are an
  essential part. Testing them becomes all the more
  essential. Regular tests of the valves can keep
  the entire plumbing system safe and allow them to
  function properly.

Steps to Test the Check Valves

• Testing a check valve is not that tough or
  complicated. Just follow these three steps to
  perform a test.
• Step 1 - To test these valves, you will have to
  shut off the water supply. Once the water supply
  is shut off, follow the supply line (you can find
  an arrow of the valves), keep following the line,
  find the valve, and switch it off. Once you are
  done, you must wait for at least 15 minutes for
  pressure to ease.
• Step 2 - Search the valve for any contaminants
  like debris. You can do this by tapping it on the
  side with some tools like a screwdriver, small
  hammer, or a wrench. When you are tapping listen
  to the sound it is making a rattling sound
  means the valve is fine, but if you hear a
  squealing sound, that can be an indication of
  stitch debris or a leaking valve. If you want to
  know the reason for the sound, then you can
  remove the top part of the valve and look into it
  to check directly. Upon looking inside, you
  should find a ball-in inside the valve. If you
  find something else, you must remove it and then
  out the top part of the valve back.

• Step 3 - Once you are done with the above steps,
  you should ask someone else to help you restart
  the fluid supply. Start the supply for only five
  seconds and then switch it off. When your helper
  starts the water supply, put your ear and hand on
  the valve to check for any leakage. If the fluid
  is making a running sound, that indicates a
  leakage. When you close the water supply, you
  will hear a gentle click. This means the valve
  has closed, and water will stop running through
  the valve when the water supply is off.
