Check Valve

[DemLin]

We have a 2006 3500RL with a suburban sw10de water heater with a bad check valve. Does anybody have information, or can tell me, where to find the part and installation instructions. Thanks in advance for your help.

Any camping world, la mesa rv, etc has the part. Takes two slip joint pliers to remove old one from back of water heater and install new one.

This is what is on our water heater, and the way the water heater is positioned, I can only get one arm in to reach where the check valve is located, so a pipe wrench or a 12" crescent wrench will be the minimum needed to get it unscrewed, and going back with the new one, be sure to use pipe dope or Teflon tape to seal the threads. Also, make sure you position the valve so the water flow is going out of the tank, because this will be installed on the hot water OUT at the top of the back of the tank.
