Hayward TC10200STE PVC True Check Valve - 2 inch Socket x Threaded EPDM

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward TC10200STE is a PVC true check valve used in pool plumbing to prevent backflow. It is listed as 2 inch socket by threaded with EPDM sealing. This valve installs on return or feature plumbing where water needs to flow one direction only.

Why This Part Matters
Backflow can drain lines, introduce air, and cause equipment issues after shutdown. A working check valve helps protect heaters, chlorinators, and elevated plumbing runs from reverse flow. When a check valve fails, you may see water draining back, loss of prime, or unwanted mixing between lines. Replacing the correct size restores predictable flow control.
