Anyone know of anything that will work

Thanks

This is the unloading check valve I used on my system. It is a Control Devices CA-12 Load Genie Unloading Check Valve. It is a 3/8" NPT valve, rated for 3 to 12 CFM flow.

The internal moving mechanism could be hurt by excessive torque. The instructions specify 10 ft-lbs of tightening torque, maximum.

Just in case, a decent rule of thumb for installing each end of it without distorting the internal mechanism is finger snug + 1/4 to 1/2 turn. The female end doesn’t have any pre-existing thread sealer like the male end.
