Essential for prevent water flooding out of the aquarium
Durable stainless steel construction
This check valve can only be used with a pressurized CO2 cylinder. The air from a regular air pump will not be able to pass through it. A check valve is used within airline tubing to prevent water from siphoning out of an aquarium and into a CO2 regulator. Stainless steel check valves are durable and will hold up over time keeping your equipment safe from leaks. A stainless steel check valve is the best choice when using CO2 as it will hold up better than plastic over a long period of time.
Used for Pressurized CO2 Systems
If you are injecting pressurized CO2 gas into your planted tank using a CO2 regulator and CO2 cylinder, then this check valve is a must. It stops any water from siphoning out of the aquarium through the CO2 line whenever the CO2 regulator turns off or loses power. Save your floors from flooding with this simple check valve.
Easy to Install
To install the check valve, simply cut the airline tubing between the CO2 regulator and the CO2 diffuser inside the aquarium. Make the cut outside of the aquarium, just a couple of inches below the rim. Then install the check valve so that the arrow points from the regulator toward the aquarium.
Much better than using the cheap plastic ones when running CO2. Water hasn’t gotten past yet. Going to be buying more for the rest of my tanks.

Quality Check Valve
Always pleased with my Aquarium Co-op purchases. Check valve was made of quality materials and great price. Just what I needed to complete my CO2 setup.

Very helpful for a CO2 setup
I got this for my small CO2 system as I was having trouble with back pressure building up overnight and then delaying the CO2 start time. Put this in line and that problem vanished. Highly recommend.

These check valves changed my life.
Never have I laid eyes upon a more perfect check valve for CO2 lines. Be careful with these bad boys. They’re so awesome, you might throw up. I am in no way leaving this review for the 5% discount code.

Fixed my Leak
I am not a fan of things that leak. It’s never good. The stainless steel check valve from Aquarium Co-Op solved my disappearing CO2 issue. Replacing the plastic valve I had with this steel one immediately produced results. No more disappearing bubbles for this aquarium.

Best Check Valve I've Used
I purchased this product a second time after seeing the quality of the product on the first purchase. Its fit perfect with my standard airline setup and CO2 specific airline with no leaks. I wish you could get regular check valves of this same quality.

Solid and trustworthy
Much better than the plastic ones for sure! Gives piece of mind you won’t drain the tank into the living room.

Check Valve
Recently purchased this check valve, does not flow in either direction. Might just be a dud. Will have to do more research on other products.
