Valterra1/2" MPT x MPTMade in USAP23415LF Lead-Free Brass Check Valve -- 1/2" MPT

Keep your RV fresh water supply clean and flowing in the right direction. The Valterra P23415LF is a compact, lead-free brass check valve that installs in any 1/2" male pipe thread line to enforce uni-directional flow -- stopping antifreeze, gray water, or outside contaminants from migrating back into your potable water system.

One Small Valve, One Big Job: Protecting Your Drinking Water

Backflow is a real risk in RV plumbing. When you winterize with antifreeze, connect to an unfamiliar campground water source, or experience a sudden pressure drop, water can reverse direction and carry contaminants with it. The Valterra P23415LF puts a mechanical stop in that path.

At just 2.3 inches long and under 0.2 lbs, this valve threads directly into any standard 1/2" MPT fitting -- pump outlets, city water inlets, winterizing stations, or inline between your water heater bypass and the rest of the system. No special tools, no adapters needed for standard 1/2" NPT plumbing.

Lead-Free Brass

NSF/ANSI 61-compliant lead-free brass construction is safe for potable and drinking water applications -- no leaching, no compromise.

Uni-Directional Flow

Spring-loaded internal check mechanism allows flow in one direction only, blocking reverse flow immediately when pressure drops or reverses.

1/2" MPT Both Ends

Male pipe thread on both inlet and outlet ends fits directly into standard female NPT fittings common in RV fresh water plumbing.

Compact Install

At 2.3" overall length, this valve fits into tight spaces near pump outlets, bypass valves, and city water connections without rerouting lines.

Why Lead-Free Matters

Federal law (Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act) requires lead-free materials in potable water fittings. The P23415LF meets that requirement -- it is not just marketing language. Use it with confidence anywhere in your fresh water circuit.

Common Installation Points in an RV
  • Inline on the outlet side of a 12V demand pump to prevent city water from back-pressuring the pump diaphragm
  • At the winterization fitting to keep antifreeze from migrating into the city water inlet
  • Between the water heater bypass and the supply line as an added backflow stop
  • At any tee where two water sources could potentially see each other
Installation Tips
  • Wrap male threads with 2-3 layers of PTFE (Teflon) tape before threading in -- brass-to-plastic or brass-to-brass joints both benefit.
  • Hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench -- do not over-torque. Brass threads can gall.
  • Note the flow direction arrow cast or stamped on the valve body before installation.
  • After installation, pressurize and check for seeps at both fittings before closing up the compartment.

Important Information
  • Both ends are MPT (Male Pipe Thread) -- your receiving fittings must be FPT (female). This valve does not have female ends.
  • Confirm flow direction arrow on valve body before installation. Installing backwards will block water flow entirely.
  • Always use PTFE thread tape or approved thread sealant on pipe threads. Do not use pipe dope that is not rated for potable water.
  • Not designed for high-pressure industrial applications. Use within normal RV fresh water system pressures (typically 40-60 PSI city supply, regulated).
  • Inspect periodically for corrosion, mineral buildup, or seat wear -- especially in areas with hard water -- and replace if valve fails to hold back pressure.
