Little Giant CV-10 Check Valve for the following Little Giant Series Condensate Pumps - VCC, VCMA, VCL-14 and VCL-24, 1/4-inch MNPT x 3/8-inch Barbed, Black, 599065

A little pricy for what it is, but it gets the job done. The check ball in my old valve had swollen with age and the pump had to work long and hard to push the condensate past the swollen ball. I thought about saving a few dollars by just removing the ball from the old valve and then installing an inline check valve in the discharge tube but, as they say, "time is money" and additionally, an inline check valve would also mean 2 more connections (potential leaks) in the discharge tube. This was definitely the better way to go.

Nice replacement part for the condensate pump. Great to be able to order the part, have it shipped to your door and at a great price. Works perfectly!

Yes!! Our check valve broke off because of bad placement of pump and the drain tube was old and getting stiff. Thought I had to buy a whole new pump but this replaced the old one that broke with no issues. Our pump is a Wayne pump and they don’t make them anymore and are hard to find. This was an easy fix. Bought two just to have another one on hand.

Our pump was not working and was shutting off our AC. I was going to buy a new one. I’m taking it all apart I wanted to see why it wouldn’t pump. Took this check valve out and it pumped like crazy. Tried to blow through valve and nothing. Took it apart and the ball had started to disintegrate. Still figured I had to buy a pump but found this. Inexpensive fix and back in business.

When I opened the packet, I saw the valve with poor plastic finishing, indicating it's of not a good quality but had no trouble in fitting to my pump and the value worked well, so have given 5*

Many local stores sold the entire condensate pump but not the check valve . This was perfect and inexpensive. The original just broke apart. Don't know why but it is just plastic. It can sure make a mess.

Found a large puddle of water in my basement next to my Little Giant VCMA-15UI condensate pump. The check valve was stuck. My condensate pump was installed in such a manner that it would have required the PVC drain pipe from the AC unit to be cut. To get around this situation, I left the pump in place and filled the pump reservoir full with clean water and then sucked it dry with a wet/dry vac several times. Once the reservoir looked clean I installed the new CV-10 check valve. The pump has been operating perfectly for two months. No puddles of water. I plan to clean the reservoir annually.

Without a check valve, drain water can sometimes run backward in the line or hose (from where it came) and in so doing, create overflows and floods of dirty, bacterial-laden water into the floor. Condensate and sump pumps are often simple devices with sumps or holding tanks that are gravity-fed and are not sealed...basically a pool of water in an container with open entry points for inbound drains lines. Back flows are essentially refilling the container that was just pumped out. 'Inefficient and can cause the container to overflow on to the floor. Since water leaks and seepage NEVER get better and over time, before you know it there can be lots of damage. Leaks are typically silent and unless you inspect drain lines routinely, they can sneak up on you...then it's an oh sh-t moment. We installed this check valve on to the Little Giant Condensate Pump and back flows and overflows are a thing of the past. Don't be cheap and try to do without this simple valve. Peace of mind and your floor are worth way more than the small cost of this valve. Over time, this valve will require gentle cleaning but having a spare on-hand is simpler and more reliable than trying to clean it as it is small and has NO removable parts. A little vinegar added to the sump/container will help to keep the sump container and the valve clean and trouble free. Put yourself a monthly or quarterly reminder on your calendar to save yourself some headaches by adding some vinegar on a routine schedule. That's better than discovering a water problem as you head out the door on vacation!

Versand könne etwas schneller sein (aber das lag vermutlich am Jahreswechsel und Feiertag) sonst alles top!

The central heating run off tank drain valve

The installation man suggested a new pump which cost is from $150 to 350. We just replaced the valve that fits several pumps and can use it without purchasing a new furnace water pump. I don’t understand, why a contractor would suggest a new pump instead of ordering the valve, which he could do himself and charge a double cost, which would be acceptable. The cost of the valve was only $10 and it was replaced with no problem !!!!!

Replacing a failed part on Little Giant condensate pump. Delivery from USA amazingly swift.

My husband wanted me to order this since the pricing was so good. He said it is exactly what he was looking for and would do the job.
