If you are looking for a check valve to prevent floods from back siphonage you might want to rethink it. Check valves fail and will flood your house at the most inconvient moment. Design your sump with plenty of freeboard so no check valves are needed and you will have much better peace of mind.

this is for a topoff pump from the basement to my sump. it makes an horific noise when the pump shuts off after toping off and plus i feel as though it will save the pump some pushing power. i think i will have to redo my hose and the barb fitting on my pump, im not able to track down a 5/8inch. o.d. check valve.i also did leave myself plenty of room for any power outages, believe it or not i check that myflooding precautions pay off everyday.

get a peristaltic pump for topoff. they are alot better suited for topoff, especially against that much head. i just got a masterflex from ebay for ~40 bucks shipped.
