The 1-in SharkBite check valve is a general-purpose spring check valve that prevents the reverse flow of water. The SharkBite check valve can be installed horizontally or vertically on copper, PEX, CPVC or PE-RT. A flow of 2PSI (cracking pressure) is required to open the check valve. Just insert the pipe and the stainless steel teeth bite down and grip tight, while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to create a perfect seal.
