Valterra 200-C15W Clear PVC Swing Check Valve, 1-1/2-inch Slip
Valterra 200-C15W is a clear PVC swing check valve with no spring and slip connections listed for 1-1/2-inch pipe. Its transparent body can help with visual inspection, while its no-spring swing design is intended to restrict reverse flow. Confirm the connection sizing before installation, as listing details disagree on the inlet size.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Connection sizing is contradictory: the title and product description state 1-1/2-inch slip connections at both ends, while details list a 4-inch inlet and a 1.5-inch outlet. Dimensions also appear as 10.2 x 10.2 x 10.2 centimetres in one field and 10.16 x 10.16 x 10.16 cm; 250 g in another. Verify the selected listing's actual connection sizes and dimensions before purchase. The 150 psi rating and standards claims are listing statements, not independently verified here.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Buyers seeking a clear PVC swing check valve for a compatible irrigation, pool, spa, aquaculture or general-purpose line.
- Installations using smooth-bore 1-1/2-inch slip connections, once the connection-size discrepancy is resolved.
Less suited to
- Installations that require confirmed inlet sizing without checking the listing details.
- Applications that specifically require a spring-loaded check valve.
