Product Identity
The Zoeller 30-0042 is a two-inch PVC check valve designed for drain and trap installations. It uses an inline swing mechanism with solvent-weld connections on both ends. The valve body and seat are PVC with a rubber seal, rated for 130 degrees Fahrenheit and 50 psi water pressure at that temperature. It is not rated for steam service.
Installation Notes
The valve mounts in either horizontal or vertical orientation and connects via standard solvent-weld joints. Because the body is PVC, threads are not present; joints must be primed and cemented correctly to prevent leaks. The full-flow design minimises restriction, but the swing mechanism requires enough downstream flow to open fully and close without chatter.
Suitability
This valve suits residential or light-commercial drainage systems that need a two-inch solvent-weld check valve rated for 50 psi at 130 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not intended for steam lines, higher-pressure applications, or connections that require threaded or flanged ends. Buyers needing a different pipe size, pressure rating, or connection type should select an alternative model.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 2 in PVC check valve is sealing properly after solvent-weld installation?
After the solvent weld cures, run water through the line and watch for back-flow; the inline swing mechanism should close silently and hold against up to 50 psi at 130 °F.
What components are included with the Zoeller 30-0042 and what must be sourced separately?
The valve body with rubber seal is supplied; PVC pipe, solvent cement, primer and any required fittings are not included.
Which connection type and mounting orientation suit a horizontal drain line?
The solvent-weld by solvent-weld ends and the horizontal-or-vertical rating allow direct installation in a horizontal run.
