Thanks man this is exactly what I was looking for. I am adding a four inch line under my basement for airflow/ventilation and do not want it flowing back into my laundry room. I couldn't use the more sophisticated check valves because dryer lint would probably clog it frequently. Im going to cut the inside pipe at an angle, add a small layer of silicone to the large one for the seal, have a spring with just enough tension to keep it in place/reduce noise, and see if my dryer can still vent.
Thank you for post this!!!!! what about the opposite of this? I'm trying to build an all custom solar powered 12v geothermal heat exchanger air conditioner for a 100sqf shack in mid Florida. Something with a custom diaphragm pump that pushes hot air from the roof, through a water tank 8' under the shed and back up through the floor of the shack. In the summer our ground temp is about 72F, but that shack will be much hotter even though under the trees. To power it, a 200 watt 12v solar panel. One thing I can't wrap my head around is direction and gravity of the seal at rest and when pressurized.
I had an idea that you might want to try. Instead of cutting your outflow pipe randomly, how about just cutting the pipe at an angle? The oval shape that it creates will allow water to exit on the two sides of the ellipse. The only problem that I see with your check valve is that it will significantly reduce flow.
thx for posting, that is really simple and really valuable info. I want to make a one way valve in my dryer vent pipes cause I have 4 dryers connected to the same wall outlet and if one dryer is not on then the moisture from the other dryers gets in there and can cause rusting. I'm using 4" PVC so I will have to cut out a piece of sheet metal to fit my size piping. Very cool and cheap!
come up with a on way flapper valve or restrector valve for 2 -3-4 " PVC .. that will allow wet gravel to come threw on the pull but will not allow it to return on the push . that is durable and will last ..
Badass. Any ideas for a check valve for water flowing through 5/16" ID clear vinyl tubing? Thinkin a plastic bb incased in a coupling that fits around the OD might work..
Thanks! Your video is giving me ideas for making a valve for a rainwater diverter I am building.
hey great video. I am glad someone else thinks like me "Out of the box" or should I say out of the pipe.

Brilliant! Genius! You have a beautiful mind, please keep sharing.

1stClassImaging Good point and solution, thank you. A diy flapper valve.
I was considering cutting teeth into my design, great idea tho non the less
This is genius 🙏🙏 gonna make one for my drillung rig

Thanks.so easy.never thought of that
Thanks for posting this. Your idea is one I hadn't thought of. I will be making a miniature version of this.
PRICELESS ! This is the great advantage of utube . Great ideas from all over . Great video , thanks
Thanks for making this video Chris, I have another use for something like this that I want to try tomorrow!
Magnificent ! Perfect for Water Ram Hydraulic Pump scenarios ! Thank you.
love the backlighting.
Thank you.
This is a very good idea! Only I stick with 1stClassImaging, it reduces the flow. Keep it up :)
Very interesting...Thanks
Thank you so much, even if people do not feel the air, i can perfectly understand what you mean.
excellent stuff...exactly what I need. Many thanks
Thank you for sharing.
Best regards from madrid
I do love my Joints....lol ;)
brilliant
I Like It !
Keep It up

good thinking
only thing in my joint is weed lol
Tnq boss
how?
the only thing that is clear in your video is the way you blow...
but the HOW TO make it?
none....
What do you not understand about how to make it? It is the lid to a mason jar inside a PVC pipe elbow.
