🛑 What Is a One-Way Drain Valve?

A one-way drain valve, also known as a non-return valve or trap guard, allows wastewater to exit the fixture while preventing gases, bacteria, or dirty water from flowing back up. This is especially important in medical and lab settings, where drain contamination poses serious health risks.
