McDonald 5421-101 is a lead-free swing check valve designed to allow one-directional flow and prevent backflow in plumbing and water distribution systems. Sized at 1-1\/4 inches with female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends, this valve is rated for a 125 PSI pressure class. The swing-type disc mechanism opens under forward flow and seats automatically when flow stops or reverses. At 1.36 pounds, it is a compact, field-ready component suited for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters on potable water and hydronic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is a practical fit for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where backflow prevention is required on water supply lines.
