iFJF 7235 180-Degree Check Valve for Pools & Spas
The iFJF 7235 check valve delivers reliable backflow prevention for your pool and spa plumbing system. Featuring a unique 180-degree straight-through flow design, this valve ensures unrestricted water movement while preventing damaging reverse flow. Built with heavy-duty PVC construction and a sleek black finish, it's the smart choice for DIY pool plumbing projects and professional installations alike.
Key Features & Benefits
180° Straight-Through Design
Unlike standard check valves that create flow restrictions, the iFJF 7235 features a linear 180-degree path that maintains full water pressure and flow rate. Your pool pump works less, energy costs stay lower, and water circulation improves throughout the entire system.
1.5" to 2" Versatile Fitment
Designed to accommodate both 1.5-inch and 2-inch PVC pipe connections, this valve adapts to most residential pool and spa plumbing configurations. The slip-fit ends make installation straightforward — just primer, glue, and you're done. No special tools required.
Heavy-Duty PVC Construction
Manufactured from high-grade PVC rated for continuous water exposure and pool chemicals, including chlorine and bromine. The black finish resists UV degradation and algae growth, maintaining its appearance and performance season after season.
Quiet Operation
The internal flapper mechanism operates silently, preventing the water hammer and banging noises common with metal check valves. Enjoy a quieter pool equipment pad.

- Apply PVC primer to both the pipe and the valve slip connections.
- Apply PVC cement evenly and insert the pipe fully into the valve — hold for 30 seconds.
- Allow the solvent weld to cure for at least 2 hours before pressurizing the system.
- Install the valve with the flow arrow pointing in the desired water direction.
- Avoid installing near sharp bends or immediately after pump discharge to minimize turbulence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this check valve fit 1.5" and 2" PVC pipe?
Yes. The iFJF 7235 check valve features slip connections designed to accept both 1.5-inch and 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe through its tapered fitting design. Use standard PVC primer and cement for a secure joint.
Can I install this valve horizontally?
Absolutely. The 180-degree straight-through design works in horizontal, vertical, or angled orientations. Just ensure the flow direction arrow on the valve body aligns with your desired water flow path.
Is this valve compatible with saltwater pools?
Yes. The PVC construction and internal components are resistant to saltwater, chlorine, and bromine environments. For heavy salt systems, periodic inspection is recommended as a general maintenance best practice.
Does the check valve make noise when operating?
No. Unlike metal swing check valves that can produce water hammer or clanking sounds, the iFJF 7235 operates quietly thanks to its smooth-acting internal flapper mechanism and PVC body.
