Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a check valve and what does this G1/2 brass check valve do?

A: A check valve (also called a one-way valve or non-return valve) allows water to flow in only one direction. This G1/2 nickel-plated brass check valve automatically closes when flow reverses, preventing backflow from entering your water supply lines, toilet connections, or other plumbing fixtures.

Q: What thread size is this check valve and will it fit my toilet supply line?

A: This check valve uses a standard G1/2 (20mm) male/female thread, which is one of the most common thread sizes used in residential toilet supply connections and water line fittings. Always verify your existing fitting size before installation to ensure compatibility.

Q: Does this check valve require electricity or any special tools to operate?

A: No — this is a fully mechanical, electricity-free valve. It operates automatically using water pressure. Basic plumbing tools and PTFE thread tape are recommended for installation, but no wiring or power source is needed.

Q: Is this check valve suitable for both hot and cold water lines?

A: Yes. The nickel-plated brass construction makes this valve suitable for use in both hot and cold water supply lines in standard residential plumbing applications.
