Product identity

The Hayward TC20050STE is a 1/2 inch CPVC inline check valve with FNPT and socket connections. It is designed for pool and spa plumbing systems that require reliable one-way flow control.

Compatibility check

Verify that your piping uses 1/2 inch FNPT threads or socket fittings to match the valve connections. Ensure the system operates between 40 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit and does not exceed 235 psi at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Confirm vertical mounting orientation is possible and that EPDM seals are suitable for your water chemistry.

Upgrade context

This valve replaces a missing or failed check valve in a circulation line where backflow prevention is required. The 3 psi cracking pressure and 6 gpm full-flow rating suit standard residential pool pumps. The jump is worth it when an existing valve leaks, sticks open or cannot handle the temperature and pressure range of the current installation.

Questions about this item

Does the check valve come with any gaskets, solvent cement or pipe sections, or must those be purchased separately?

The valve body is CPVC with EPDM seals already fitted; solvent cement, primer and the adjoining pipe lengths are not included and must be sourced separately.

How do I decide between the 1/2 in FNPT x Socket version and other sizes Hayward offers?

Choose this model when the plumbing calls for a 1/2 inch female thread on one side and a solvent-weld socket on the other; larger or smaller line sizes need a different part number.

What does the 6 gpm flow rating mean once the valve is installed in a pool circulation line?

At the rated 6 gpm the valve opens fully with only 3 psi cracking pressure, allowing near unrestricted flow through the inline true-union body.
