Description
An inline one-way check valve that connects two sections of 1/4″ OD tubing and prevents backflow — water flows in one direction only. Essential for maintaining correct flow direction in RO and water filtration systems.
What it does
This inline check valve has a built-in one-way valve inside a tube-to-tube union body. Water flows through in the direction of the arrow on the fitting; if pressure reverses, the valve closes and blocks flow. Both ends are 1/4″ OD push-to-connect.
Use it wherever backflow could contaminate purified water or disrupt system operation — common on the output side of an RO membrane, between a storage tank and a faucet, or anywhere gravity or back-pressure could push water the wrong way.

Often used with
Good to know before you buy
- Check the flow-direction arrow on the fitting body before installing. Water flows in the arrow direction only.
- Cut tubing square and push fully into each port.
- Do not install backwards — the valve will block all flow if reversed.
- After installation, verify water flows through in the correct direction before putting the system into service.
