Core non-return valve Explanation: 1) OK for "non return valve" = "clapet de non-retour". 2) "Obus de valve" = "valve core" (see Web ref 1). Reference: http://www.granddictionnaire.com/BTML/FRA/r_Motclef/index800... |

nozzle check/non-return valve Explanation: Here is a ref with images of your French whatsit: http://hlbmatos.free.fr/Bouees/Composants/Composants.htm And as it looks like a nozzle, I think this might be it in English: -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-09-23 20:53:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "A feature of the nozzle check valve DRV-Z is its inherent non ?slam characteristic. This is attained because the valve reacts so quickly to flow (velocity) changes that it is always able to outpace the process change and be at the point of closure before it is possible to obtain reverse flow." http://www.valvedepot.com/catalogue/check/040556701.htm On the other hand, the illustration shows a valve rather different from the French one. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-09-23 20:59:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This looks more like it: http://www.ferret.com.au/c/Spray-Nozzle-Engineering/Drip-Pro... Come to think of it, so does my bicycle tyre valve. |
