I have replaced an outside tap which did not have a NRV. There is a service valve under the sink which has an arrow. Is this a NRV? Original was fitted 1989 by builder during extension work.
 
1. The regulations only allow ones with a built in check valve to be used to replace an outside tap that already had one.
2. A non-return valve has a hexagonal bolt head on the outside, usually in the centre of the body.
3. The service valve is not likely to incorporate a non-return valve. If it does, it will have a hexagon on it per 2. above.
