Technical
Check valves are generally used in an application that requires free flow in one direction, indicated with an arrow on the check valve, and no flow in the opposite direction.
They can also be useful as bypass valves allowing flow around other circuitry components such as needle valves which would restrict the flow in both directions.
Threaded Connections
Using BSPP male with BSPP female threads requires an O-ring gasket or sealing washer for a leak tight seal. Using BSPT male threads with BSPP female threads requires an appropriate thread sealant to prevent leaking.
A PTFE-based (Teflon™) pipe thread sealant is generally recommended for plastic threads but beware of overtightening. PTFE-based sealants, and thread sealants in general, make it easier to overtighten and potentially deform plastic threaded connections.
BSPP, British (Whitworth) Standard Pipe Parallel, is currently considered an obsolete pipe thread standard. While "BSPP" is still commonly used to indicate this specific type of pipe thread, the standard it is based on has been replaced by ISO 228-1.
ISO 288-1 is currently the international standard for interconnecting and sealing pipe ends and pipe fittings using parallel pipe threads. Officially it is called ISO 228-1:2000, "Pipe Threads where Pressure-tight Joints are not made on the Threads: Dimensions, tolerances and designation".
BSPP or ISO 228-1 (DIN 259) threads are also called G series pipe threads. R tapered external pipe threads (BSPT, BS 21, DIN 2999, ISO 7-1, EN10226-1 and JIS B 0203) will mate with G parallel internal pipe threads.

What a Modular Check Valve Part Number Means
Prefix – Inlet – Outlet – Cracking Pressure – Seal – Housing Material
CVIS-CON-CON-CP-SEAL-MAT
Prefix (CVIS)
CVIS is the Modular Check Valve Series prefix. It is the beginning of every modular check valve part number.
Example: CVIS-18-14-4#-V-BLPP
Inlet and Outlet (CON)
This is an abbreviation that stands for connection type and its size. The inlet is listed first and the outlet second. If both connections are the same, it is only listed once.
See the Specification Codes section below for the connection codes.
Examples: CVIS-18-14-4#-V-BLPP (1/8” hose barb by 1/4" hose barb connections)
CVIS-18-4#-V-BLPP (1/8” hose barb by 1/8” hose barb connections)
Cracking Pressure (CP)
This is an abbreviation for the cracking pressure of the check valve. If no CP code is required (no spring option), then no CP code is used.
See the Specification Codes section below for the cracking pressure codes
Examples: CVIS-18-14-4#-V-BLPP (4 psi cracking pressure)
CVIS-18-14-V-BLPP (no spring)
Seal Material (SEAL)
This is where the seal material is listed.
See the Specification Codes section below for the seal material codes
Example: CVIS-18-14-4#-V-BLPP (Viton® O-ring seals)
Material (MAT)
This is the abbreviation for the body material and color. All the housings are 30% glass-filled polypropylene. They are available in red, blue or natural polypropylene.
See the Specification Codes section below for the material and color codes
Example: CVIS-18-14-4#-V-BLPP (blue glass-filled polypropylene body)
