Installed in a gravity feed system, in parallel with a Facet boost pump. This valve is indeed free flow (zero PSI breakout pressure) and as such works well in the gravity feed system, when the pump is turned off. The pump is only turned on for extreme nose up attitudes.

The item works great at sealing as a check valve. I had to open up and clean the seats from dust and once clean it worked great. I used it for vent and gas applications.
