Client Testimonials

Zoeller 30-0181 Check Valve Union
Each end of this valve has a stepped outside diameter 1.25" on the finish, and 1.50" next to the valve body refer to the Client Pictures. It comes with two rubber adapters and 4 stainless steel clamps. The adapters convert 1.25" to 1.5" or vice-versa. The 1.five" adapter end will slip over a 1.five" PVC pipe, and 1.25" will slip more than a 1.25" PVC pipe. In other words, using the supplied rubber adapters, either finish can be configured to 1.25" or 1.5".
It is straightforward to connect this device working with a clamp screw. To eliminate the device, or slip a single end off a pipe, loosen 1 of the clamp screws and slide the pipe out therefore "union" in the name. This function allows removal of the sump pump for service or replacement, with no cutting any pipe.
This is a full flow check valve, in contrast to some models at my neighborhood Lowes or Residence Depot, which partially restrict flow. When a sump pump comes on, the valve flap swings entirely out of the way, to enable maximum flow. When the pump stops, the flap closes to stop water from going toward the pump. The rubber seal portion of the flap will ultimately leak a bit, I suppose, but there is so little pressure on it when it's closed, that it should certainly last a long time.
Our sump pumps were installed with a check valve within the sump basin, due to the fact the discharge level was much less than a foot above the sump basin. When the pump shuts off, if you don't have a check valve, all water nonetheless in your exit pipe that's greater than the pump will flow back into the basin. Otherwise, the only water that will flow backward into the basin is the modest volume of water among the pump and the check valve. In addition, a check valve prevents mice, insects, and so on. that crawled in by means of your exit pipe, from generating it all the way to your sump pump. When the water comes on, critters really should be washed away.
We have this check valve on each and every of our sump pumps. Exceptional product.

High good quality item, worth the money. Full-flow style that should really final a rather long time. Considerably greater product than the imported valves stocked at the neighborhood stores.
Packaging was a small iffy (foam-lined envelope), but the valve came by way of just fine.
Another high quality Zoeller product.
