Rating provided by a verified purchaser

With help of a Home Depot associate I assembled the parts and installed this valve in my dishwasher drain line and solved my problem. Thanks.

excellent quality - using on reef aquarium

just what I needed

Good product and good price, overall very good product

Fits 1/2" polly pipe with the use of THread to Barb connectors and works to keep flow-back of water intended to be used for watering my potted plants. That is what I needed.

bought to put on a 1-1/2 line (put bushings to adapt), thinking that it would allow full flow on the line while pumping my pond so that it wasn't constantly re-pumping water each time it cycled I was very sadly disappointed. It clogged in short time when a small minnow got sucked up. I cleaned everything out and made sure there was nothing that could clog it and re installed. It clogged again in very short order and kept the pump from self priming. Even tried it on a 1inch line thinking it would work and it didn't. If you are using for sewage use a full port SWING check valve. This one is described as swing check but it is a poppet check valve and will clog easily

I have a low cost centrifugal pump that I use to provide water from barrels to my travel trailer. The pump requires a check valve in the system to keep it primed. This valve serves the purpose very well. I was concerned that the pump suction could not overcome the opening pressure of the valve, which is why I asked the question regarding opening pressure. The 5 PSI estimates seem right to me and the valve works well in my application.

Installation was easy with this 1/2 threaded check valve. Wrapped plumbers tape around the threaded pipe and screwed the valve to them no leaks ( that's a good thing)

Easy install, tested resistance before installing, seemed too much force required to open valve, loosened tension on spring that closes valve by turning bolt that holds spring in place, retested resistance and was satisfied with performance. I loosened the bolt to reduce spring pressure to lighten the load on the pump, longevity of pump life.

The check valves were appropriate for our application, quality of valves is good and service provided by Home Depot was excellent.

It will work perfectly for the reason I purchased it.

Valve is a Female NPT, and the hole assembly is completely sealed.
