Part # 1700C20
Flo Control check valve prevents backflow to protect sensitive equipment from chemical damage.
True union design allows the valve to be disassembled by unscrewing the in-line nuts, leaving the tail pieces cemented to the pipe. The valve body can be removed for visual inspection, repair, or cleaning, making it easy to change the body or spring tension.
Features:
I would like to know the length of the body from end to end without the unions.I have a flo control valve in now and it is 5.25 inches from end to end without the unions.

would this unit slide in place of the 2" pipe or would it need to buy adaptors to fit in place. The original check valve is the same length as yours but i don't know if the nuts would adapt to your check valve would appreciate your input.
thanks.

This check valve will slip over 2" plumbing for installation. Without knowing which valve you currently have I can not say that the threading would be the same. But it more than likely would be a proprietary threading specific to the MFG.

I cut out the old valve using a hack saw. A union connection was then fitted and glued to place on the cut end of the 2 inch PVC pipe. The bottom of the new valve was cemented on this connector. .I loosen both ends of the new valve.The length of the valve was measured. Another union connector was fitted and placed on the remaining open end of the PVC. Since the new valve could be separated from the two connectors, it made the next step easy.The other end of the connector was primed and glued. I made sure the distance was right. The valve was placed and the connector ends were tightened. I waited 24 hours for the PVC glue to fully set. It works great. No leaks.

Replaced an old unit by unscrewing the old one out and screwing this one in. Works great and I can actually see the valve now. The old one got cloudy from sun.
