Would RecommendBought & installed this today. Seems well made and works well.. My only gripe is the supplied clamps are junk... 2 of the 4 wouldn't unwind & jammed up. Probably should buy new clamps of quality if purchasing this valve.
Purchased with heavy duty sump pump
Would RecommendPurchased with the sump pump and seems to be working like a charm.

Decent but has a lot of room for improvement.
Would RecommendThe metal clamps are crap. The screws don’t stay in one spot. Buy your own. The gaskets could use more length in the pipe to hold the full assembly together better.

Good value
Would RecommendNeeded to replace a check valve with a silencing air chamber. Either they don't exist anymore or are hard to find. Tried this model and was pleased that it operates much quieter than I expected. No need for silencing air chamber. The valve is well made; comes with everything necessary to install (two rubber couplers and four connector bands). Reasonably priced.
