I use this check valve for everything:

The only time I've had a problem with them was when I put one on a medium-pressure spot free line that was 3/8" OD tubing. The flow was too much and it broke the plastic tabs off that hold the poppet in place and it went downstream and jammed in the nipple. A 3/8" version worked fine.
