Here’s the product I installed: https://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1%7C51%7C2234261%7C2234268&id=826034 <https://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|51|2234261|2234268&id=826034>, from Whale. It’s listed under bilge pump check valves on Defender. The housing contains a replaceable nitrile joker valve, for better or worse.
