Check Valve

Check valve is set between air pump and air injection nozzle. It prevents a back flow of exhaust gas. Normally, it passes air into air distribution manifold. When exhaust manifold pressure exceeds air injection pressure, as it will at high speed, or when air pump drive belt fails, check valve prevents exhaust gas from entering system.
