Check Valve - Which one is better

[rshiggaon]

Does anyone know what is the difference between these check valves Brass and Stainless Steel? Why is the brass one so expensive?Which ones do you guys use?

TIA

The brass check valve is likely re-branded RegO. RegO products are not inexpensive.

We install RegO's Stainless Steel version. Most have never been touched. Many are over 30 years old.

Maybe they were good 30 years ago. The ones I bought were not.

Well, there you go...different experiences.
The 30some RegOs that we've installed in the last 3 years perform as reliably as the ones installed over the last 30 years.
