IMHO, the standard to beat is McMaster-Carr's 4708K58, a bronze
swing-check valve for a 2" pipe rated for 406degF and up to 200PSI. It costs
$58.55, and unless somebody points out some problem, will probably be the way I
go. It has NPT threads but that should be easy enough to adapt to standard
radiator clamps by simply installing the appropriate adapters on each
side.
I was just looking at the 1-1/4" valve
below. I believe the native hose size of the EWP is 1-1/4", so that
seems like a logical size to me. See Jim, I've been looking
:-)
