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.

Pros: Same dimensions over time / easily replaced
After turning a new puppy loose in the yard, I found that I had to replace a check valve that had been in place for several years. I ordered the replacement valve and it was very easy to drop in and replace the old one the puppy had wrapped its chain around and destroyed.

(4 out of 5 stars) Clear 2" check valve
Reviewed By: Proboss from Melbourne, FL ()
Pros: quality
Cons: additional charges
This valve is an exact replacement for the original and works as advertised. I was happy with the customer service I got with my purchase. I was not happy with the additional handling charge added on top of the shipping. To me that's just a way for Inyo pool to increase their margin. Don't sell me the part for 31.99 then add $5.00 handling plus 8.98 for shipping. That is a big turn off!

(5 out of 5 stars) Exact Replacement
Reviewed By: John D. from Longwood, FL ()
Pros: Exact replacement, O-rings and threads
Cons: Include the valve only length in the description
I bought this valve to replace the exact same one that had been in line for 25 years. It fit perfectly! I didn't have to glue in new unions or anything. I only replaced the old valve because I thought it was binding, but that was not the case. The threads and length just matched up. The description on the webpage gives the total length, with couplings, they may also want to include just the body length for the valve only when being purchased like I did for a direct replacement.

(5 out of 5 stars) Made it easy to install an inline chlorinator
Reviewed By: Mark A. from Stafford, VA ()
Pros: Easy to install, sturdly built
Cons: Unsure about corrosion resistance to chlorine
I used this as a check valve to protect my pool heater from an in line chlorinator. It's not the one recommended by the manufacturer of the chlorinator(Rainbow), but theirs wasn't built with the screw on unions. This made it really easy to install the chlorinator, and will make any future repairs equally easy.
