Air Injection Check Valve: Description and Operation

The check valve is located on the exhaust manifold.

The one-way check valve has a one-way diaphragm which prevents hot exhaust gases from backing up into the air injection hose and air injection pump. The check valve will protect the system if the air injection pump, an air hose ruptures or exhaust system pressure becomes abnormally high.
