EXCELLENT PRODUCT

Would Recommend

This adjustable check valve worked perfectly. This piece made it very easy to install the new pump without alot of extra work and expense. We live in the midwest and have had so much rain. The sump pump has pretty much ran non-stop. The valve has stayed put and it hasn't leaked at all.

Check valve works well

Would Recommend

This check valve fits 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" fittings. The pieces can be rotated top to bottom to fit PVC and copper pipes. The height offers flexibility to make replacement easy. I recommend this check valve for a fast and easy fix.

Sumpj Pump Check Valve

Would Recommend

Worked great to quiet the sump pump. The old check valve made really annoying noises every time the pump went on. It's not quiet and working great.

Good product but it didn’t fit my need

Would Recommend

Great product and easy to use however because of the height of my project the flexible ends cause the pipe to lay over so I need a solid PVC check valve.

Leaks

Would Not Recommend

Bought this today and before finalizing the installation, tested it. The outflow worked fine. But as a check valve, it leaked and allowed the column of water to slowly back into the sump. I give it a 2 because perhaps it will stop some noise, but as a check valve my conclusion is that it does not work. My recommendation to LOWES is to test the products you sell to make sure they are fit for purpose.
