Pump Outlet Adapter, Check Valve
This 6AN male adapter is used to integrate a high flow check valve on the outlet of many fuel pumps. The valve outflows the integrated check valve that comes standard on many fuel pump outlets. Furthermore, decreasing this restriction allows the pump to operate at less current. This keeps fuel temperatures lower and prevents cavitation. The two billet aluminum adapter halves are secured together with a stainless steel retainer and bolts that clamp tightly around the pump outlet. A stainless steel plunger and spring are used for making a one-way connection. Viton O-rings seal for a leak-free connection and E85 compatibility.

Test Comparison
We have tested fuel pumps with and without check valves. With any check valve, flow and current draw will be affected. The two check valves tested were the standard integrated pump outlet check valve and the Radium Engineering check valve.
Standard integrated check valve
Flow Restriction: 46-76 LPH
Current Draw: 3.2-4.8 Amps
Radium Engineering check valve
Flow Restriction: 15 LPH
Current Draw: 0.5 Amps

Fuel Pump Compatibility
The Radium Engineering check valve is very specific to the pump. It will only work on the pumps listed below. NOTE: Before ordering, make sure the pump outlet hose barb ridges are in excellent condition. Damaged or non-round hose barb ridges may prevent the O-ring from obtaining a positive seal.
- Compatible. These pumps did NOT come standard with a check valve, thus are perfect candidates for the Radium Engineering check valve.

- Not Compatible. The check valve will physically fit these pumps, but they come standard with an integrated check valve that can NOT be removed.
