Features and Operation
The valve permits flow in one direction and blocks reverse flow. The Chinese catalog identifies its purpose as preventing reverse flow following a supply-pressure drop, including a drop caused by increased air consumption. The body IN/OUT marks and the P/A symbol identify the flow direction. The compact structure combines a POM spool with a rubber-sealed valve seat and a large effective flow area.

Flow Characteristics
The applicable graph is labeled NRV06 / NRV08. It plots downstream pressure in MPa against flow in L/min, with a pressure scale from 0 to 0.7 MPa. The flow scale runs from 0 to 1500 L/min. Use the original curves with their circuit conditions; the plotted axes do not define a guaranteed maximum flow.
Internal Components
The catalog supplies separate cross-sections for NRV06/08 and NRV10–25. The list below preserves the drawing-item numbers and the components specific to each branch.

Optional Connections and Tubing
IN and OUT are this NRV valve’s two female PT1/4 connections. Forward flow is IN to OUT, corresponding to P to A in the circuit symbol; reverse flow is blocked. The listed connections fit the selected end only. Keep the IN and OUT lines separate and follow the body markings. No atmospheric-exhaust, pilot or manifold connection is assigned. Multiple keys retain each use. Tube OD is mm (in = inches); compression/tubing show OD × ID. These piping accessories are optional and ordered separately.

These optional connections and tubes are ordered separately. Match PT/G/NPT exactly and use the specified thread seal or face gasket. Both NRV ports are female and need matching male connections. Match tube OD and compression OD/ID; metric and inch sizes are not interchangeable. Use suitable soft nylon/PU tube and check seating, clearance, bends and flow. Tighten compression bodies by the hex, not tube nuts. Where listed: D is black, blank grey, -M miniature; -S denotes only the specified 304 stainless parts.
PHF fittings use male RA at the NRV; female RB requires its own matching male thread and seal and is not a tube socket. Match both adapter ends to their separate mating parts. Branch fittings join only the intended common circuit; do not connect the IN and OUT sides around the NRV and bypass its non-return function.
The complete path must remain within this NRV valve’s 0.02–1.0 MPa and −20–70°C limits with air filtered to 40 µm or finer, and every stricter fitting or tube limit. Proof pressure is not working pressure. Follow the IN-to-OUT body markings and P-to-A circuit symbol. The 0.02 MPa operating minimum is not a specified cracking-pressure differential. These passive connections do not change the valve’s flow direction or non-return function.
Standard push-in fittings: ≤1 MPa, −20–70°C. Metal BPC/BPOC: ≤0.9 MPa; compression fittings/thread adapters: ≤1 MPa. The listed metal push-in, compression and adapter groups have a 0–150°C range, limiting the connected NRV path to 0–70°C or narrower. Apply every stricter component limit; neither the 1 MPa fitting rating nor the 150°C component rating extends the NRV rating. No system vacuum rating is established.
US98A/UE95A examples are separately ordered blue 100 m metric PU coils rated 1 MPa at 23°C. US98A: −20–70°C; UE95A: −40–70°C. Match OD/ID and derate as temperature rises within the NRV and fitting limits; 1 MPa is not assured throughout. Use inch tube where the selected connection requires it; metric tube is not a substitute.
