Does the regulator have a check action? If yes, can I use it as a check valve?

Answer:

No, it can only be used for regulating pressure. It can not replace the check valve.
The regulating valve is to adjust the pressure, and the check valve is to prevent the backflow of fluid.Clear division of labor, non-interference in each other.Even if some special pressure regulating valve has a non-return function, it can not be used as check valve.It is recommended to install a check valve on the pipe to make sure it is safe.Hope to be of help to you!
There are some regulators that have this reverse cut-off. A regulator without overflow. Such as gas regulator.For example, the compressed air regulator has no reverse cut-off function.Regulators in the form of a lot of specific circumstances, specific analysis, only to exceed the body can withstand the pressure, generally not bad.
