The Ultra V068-P Ov20 is a nominal 20mm non-return check valve insert for selected Ultra and Hudson Reed shower valves. It is supplied individually, with one check valve per purchase.
The spring-loaded insert allows water to pass towards the mixer and helps prevent reverse flow into the supply. Its white and yellow plastic body carries an external O-ring. The housing is supplied separately; order a quantity of two if two inserts are required.

Before Ordering
Match the valve model, existing insert shape, O-ring position and inlet housing before ordering. The nominal diameter alone does not establish fit.
For A3380 valves, check the existing non-return insert and inlet housing before selecting this part. V068-P and SAOV15 are different inserts, and the model code alone does not identify the required size.

Fault Symptoms and Checks
Hot water passing into the cold supply, or vice versa, can indicate an obstructed check valve. A sticking check valve or blocked inlet strainer can also cause poor flow.
Persistent dripping when the shower is turned off should prompt a check of the flow-control cartridge for debris or wear. This check valve does not provide the shower's normal on/off control.
Fitting
Isolate both water supplies before opening the valve. Inspect the inlet strainers and housing for debris or damage, and follow the valve manufacturer's servicing instructions. After fitting, restore the supplies and check for leaks and correct operation.
