What it does
- One-way design lets water flow in one direction only, so your pump system works without backflow
- Fits 3/8 inch hose connections, so you can build custom water transfer setups that match your needs
- Use two valves with a squeeze bulb to move water from bilge to bucket, so cleanup takes minutes instead of hours
- Printed on demand for you, so you get a fresh part made exactly when you order
You need a simple way to move water where you want it to go without it flowing backward. This check valve does exactly that. It's designed for 3/8 inch hose and lets fluid travel one way only.
The valve works great in pairs. Connect two of them with a squeeze bulb and you have a portable pump system that moves water from tight spaces like boat bilges into a bucket. The simple one-way design means no moving parts to jam or break.
Your valve prints fresh when you order it from the USA, ready to fit right into your workshop setup or boat maintenance kit.
