This valve is one of the small plumbing components in my water-system purchases. The connection method is useful to record because a valve with push-fit ends creates a different assembly from a threaded fitting.
I bought JUWO Half-Inch Push-Fit Check Valve as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes
The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.
The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.
I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The SharkBite alternative also uses push-to-connect ends. The brass threaded alternative uses male and female threaded connections, changing the fittings needed around the valve.
SharkBite Half-Inch Check Valve
This SharkBite check valve uses half-inch push-to-connect fittings at both ends. Its inline brass body contains a one-way flow mechanism.
