SMC Compressor Check Valve 3/8"

Check valves are used on air compressors to ensure the tank remains full after the compressor shuts off. The spring-loaded mechanism is force shut when air pressure builds up on the tank side of the valve, so tank pressure alone cannot move backward through the valve. On the air ride side, it runs through the compressor leader hose and into your tank. 3/8" NPT male/female threads make sure you're able to hook this up to any 3/8" NPT compressor leader hose easily. Note: Your stock steel check valve is installed on the leader hose of your compressor. Once the engine is shut off, the check valve will keep air from escaping back through the compressor.
