Necessary accessory for your sump pump Jul 27, 2008
By Victor H. Agresti
"remodeling-guy"
Zoeller 30-0181 Check Valve & Union
Each end of this valve has a stepped outside diameter; 1.25" on the end, and 1.50" next to the valve body; refer to the Customer Images. It comes with two rubber adapters and four stainless steel clamps. The adapters convert 1.25" to 1.5" or vice-versa. The 1.5" adapter end will slip over a 1.5" PVC pipe, and 1.25" will slip over a 1.25" PVC pipe. In other words, using the supplied rubber adapters, either end can be configured to 1.25" or 1.5".
It's easy to connect this device using a clamp screw. To remove the device, or slip one end off a pipe, loosen one of the clamp screws and slide the pipe out; hence "union" in the name. This feature allows removal of the sump pump for service or replacement, without cutting any pipe.
This is a full flow check valve, unlike some models at my local Lowes or Home Depot, which partially restrict flow. When a sump pump comes on, the valve flap swings completely out of the way, to allow maximum flow. When the pump stops, the flap closes to stop water from going toward the pump. The rubber seal part of the flap will eventually leak a bit, I suppose, but there is so little pressure on it when it's closed, that it should last a long time.
Our sump pumps were installed with a check valve within the sump basin, since the discharge level was less than a foot above the sump basin. When the pump shuts off, if you don't have a check valve, all water still in your exit pipe that's higher than the pump will flow back into the basin. Otherwise, the only water that will flow backward into the basin is the small volume of water between the pump and the check valve. In addition, a check valve prevents mice, insects, etc. that crawled in through your exit pipe, from making it all the way to your sump pump. When the water comes on, critters should be washed away.
We have this check valve on each of our sump pumps. Excellent product.

Great product Oct 14, 2008
By Brian Denton
This check valve is a totally reliable and durable product, and it's worth every penny to know that you don't have to worry about back-flow issues. I just bought a new check valve along with a new sump pump, but to be honest, I could have kept using the 10 year old Zoeller check valve on the old pump. They recommend replacing the check valve any time you replace a pump, but these things last forever!

Excellent product... Sep 24, 2008
By Mech_Engineer
High quality product, worth the money. Full-flow design that should last a very long time. Much better product than the imported valves stocked at the local stores.
Packaging was a little iffy (foam-lined envelope), but the valve came through just fine.
Another quality Zoeller product.

Excellent value Jul 11, 2010
By Tony
Seems to be a much better engineered product than what I found on the shelf at my local Home Depot and Lowes. Cost is same or lower than what the big box stores stock.
After looking at Zoeller sumps pumps on Amazon I thought the check valve was the same green coated metal as the Zoeller M-53 Sump Pump. The Zoeller Check Valve is made of plastic. Nowhere in the description does it state the valve is made of metal, so I mention this only for the benefit of anyone who may make the same mistaken assumption that I did.

 Better than Big Box valves May 26, 2011
By M. Prasek
Higher quality valve than what is available at the big box stores. Installed it with no problems. This valve is quieter than the cheap valve it replaced, but I can still hear it close. Didn't buy the valve for noise reduction though ... rather bought it to be a check valve. Which is does nicely. Would recommend and buy again.
