Product Description
The McAlpine Tunvalve is a straight-through non-return valve designed to prevent backflow and foul odors within plumbing systems. It accommodates boiler or air-conditioning condensate, cold-water cistern discharge, or overflow flows by channeling liquid into waste pipes without allowing reverse air or odors to return into premises.
