This would be done by drilling a hole thru the metal plug which stops the flow. You'd get full flow in the normal direction, but when flowing opposite, the internal plug would be situated so as to block the flow but wouldn't fully seal, since the hole you drilled thru it would allow the flow rate you want. I will admit that I know nothing about the L-IV flap system. However, I have a quick disconnect on my garden hose that could be modified in this manner to allow fast flow one way and slow flow in the other. I don't know if real check valves are configured in such a way as to allow this. - Rob Wolf
