Connector type:Npt Female  |  Item Length String:2-1/8 Inches  |  Part Number:IC25-AB This Control Devices check valve is a poppet-type in-line valve, and can be installed in the discharge line of the compressor in cases where an in-tank valve will not fit. The valve body is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. This valve has a glass-filled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) poppet and stainless steel spring. It has female NPT threads for connecting to male threaded pipes, creating a tighter seal than straight threads. The maximum pressure rating is 450 pounds per square inch (psi), and the maximum working temperature is 400 degrees Fahrenheit.Check valves have two ports and restrict the flow of fluids and other loose materials through a pipe or passageway to one direction. Flow enters through one port and exits through the other, closing when flow reverses or stops. Two common types of check valves are ball cone valves and swing check valves. A ball cone valve utilizes a spring-loaded ball seated against a cone-shaped interior surface to stop the flow of fluid in a forward direction, and a swing check valve has a movable disc on a hinge to block reverse flow. Check valves are rated by their cracking pressure (the minimum upstream pressure required for the valve to operate), and they are used in various water, gas, air, and steam lines.Control Devices manufactures specialty valves, nozzles, and condensate traps. The company, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Fenton, MI, meets ASME standards.

Sure it looks like a regular check valve and it's cheap, but....
So, although this is just a regular old check valve, this is the same part at Gast AJ550, yes that $100 check valve from gast is the same exact one shown here. I learned the hard way, but I honestly would go with one without plastic or vinyl inside. ps find your gast parts from a good reputable distributor.

So far so good
These aren't the best looking items on the market, but it does it job and feels like it is well built. If you aren't concerned about looks this is definitely a good product to purchase at a good price. The ones I got did not have the silver set screw.
