You could also press fit a female 3/8 connector into a male 3/4 connector. Make sure the 3/8 connector's body has exactly the same or a hair larger OD than the 3/4 ID.

I've had the exact same type of valve and I can tell you they're pretty bad... the piston is sloppy in the brass guides so it tends to miss the seat and leak. Maybe this is not the same manufacturer but still... it has a plastic piston and a seat over .748". Using this on a pump for 700 psi is just ...

Finally got all of the bugs out of the design.... Switched to a one piece HDPE body and an aluminum check valve piston. I was planning to install 2 O rings but they weren't needed because of the tight tolerances :roll: http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6921/p8230029.jpg http://img834.imageshack.us/im...
