Connector with integrated check valve for backflow prevention in electric household appliances to meet EN 61770.
Putting water safety first and ensuring compliance
Washing machine fitted with check valve connector to prevent backflow
In accordance with EN 61770, household appliances must incorporate measures that prevent the backflow and back siphonage of non-potable water into the water mains. Existing supply hoses, although being directly connected to water supply lines, are usually not approved for drinking water and therefore might not comply with the norm.
Neoperl has a simple solution, featuring a check valve housed within an adapter. This adapter should be installed between the mains tap and the supply hose. No tools are required for installation.
Our check valve connectors have undergone thorough testing and validation by well-established household appliance manufacturers.
