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 :-)
