What Is a Bidirectional Valve?
A bidirectional valve (or “bi-directional valve”) is a flow-control device designed to allow fluid (liquid, gas, or steam) to move in both directions through the valve body while still offering reliable shutoff, regulation, or isolation performance. Unlike unidirectional valves (which are optimized to operate safely and effectively in one direction), bidirectional valves ensure sealing, control, and fluid integrity regardless of flow direction.
In industrial applications where flow reversals may occur—such as in reciprocating pumps, system flushing, or processes with alternating flow conditions—bidirectional valves are essential to maintain safety, efficiency, and system flexibility.
