Slip Union Check Valve for Drains
The Dayton 4UN79 is an inline spring swing check valve built from TPR for general-purpose drain lines. It accepts 1-1/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch pipe through slip-by-slip connections and installs in a vertical orientation. The mechanism prevents backflow while allowing standard drainage flow.
Suited for Vertical Drain Applications
This valve fits installers who need a corrosion-resistant check valve for vertical drain piping in the specified sizes. It is not rated for steam pressure, so engineers specifying steam systems should select a rated alternative. Buyers requiring a horizontal mounting orientation or a different connection type will need a different valve.
Integrates Into Standard Drain Builds
The slip-union ends join directly to matching drain pipe without threading tools or solvent cement, simplifying assembly and future disassembly. Vertical mounting keeps the spring-loaded swing mechanism aligned for reliable sealing. The TPR body handles typical drain fluids without the weight or cost of metal alternatives.

Questions about this item
What size slip-joint pipe must already be in place for the 4UN79 to connect?
The valve accepts 1-1/4 in or 1-1/2 in slip connections, so existing pipe must match one of those diameters.
Will the inline spring-swing mechanism operate correctly if the trap is installed horizontally on an older drain line?
No, the valve is rated for vertical mounting only; horizontal orientation will prevent proper check-valve function.
How can I confirm the TPR check valve is sealing after installation?
Run water through the line and verify no back-flow occurs when the flow stops; the spring-loaded swing should close silently.
