Magic Plastics CR Valve Replacement Kit — 2" Corrosion-Resistant Rebuild for Swing/Spring Check Valves, 1/2 lb Spring

Magic Plastics CR Valve Replacement KIT 0801-20H-RK is a 2" corrosion-resistant rebuild kit for swing/spring water check valves, designed to replace part number 26-395-1200.

This rebuild kit supplies the parts you need to restore a 2" slip-type check valve to reliable operation without replacing the entire assembly. It’s engineered for water-service check valves that use a swing or spring mechanism and includes components matched to a 1/2 lb spring tension. The kit is made by Magic Plastics and focuses on corrosion resistance and straightforward installation for routine maintenance or emergency repairs.

What components are included and how do they match my valve?

The kit contains the internal parts required to rebuild a 2" slip check valve using a swing/spring configuration. Each element is sized and specified to be compatible with valves originally supplied as part number 26-395-1200.

• Replacement internal seal and seating surfaces sized for 2" plumbing.
• Spring specified to provide approximately 1/2 lb of tension for reliable closure.
• Corrosion-resistant components intended for water-service environments.
• Parts arranged for slip-type (s) plumbing connections.

How difficult is installation and what tools will I need?

Installation is intended to be straightforward for a plumber or a competent DIYer familiar with basic valve work; you generally need to disassemble the valve body, replace the internal parts, and reassemble. No specialized machinery is required, but basic hand tools and proper safety precautions are necessary.

• Common hand tools: screwdrivers, pliers, and wrench set for fasteners.
• Pipe preparation tools for slip joints, if reassembly requires solvent or adhesive.
• Clean cloths and a mild cleaner to remove buildup before installing new parts.
• Optional: thread sealant or compatible adhesive for slip plumbing per local code.

Will this kit work in my system and what are its limitations?

This rebuild kit is designed specifically for water-service check valves with 2" slip connections and a swing/spring closure style. It is not intended for pressurized air, chemical, or non-potable media unless the original equipment specifications allow such use.

• Matched to valves originally listed as part 26-395-1200.
• Optimized for water applications; avoid incompatible chemicals or extreme temperatures.
• Spring tension set to about 1/2 lb — suitable for standard water backflow prevention scenarios.
• Not a full valve replacement; use where body and flanges remain serviceable.

How long will a rebuild last and when should I consider a full valve replacement?

A proper rebuild can extend valve life significantly, especially when the valve body is undamaged and the application remains within intended operating conditions. Lifespan depends on water quality, pressure cycling, and maintenance frequency.

• Typical rebuild longevity ranges from months to years depending on conditions.
• Inspect after initial reinstallation and periodically for leaks or degraded seating.
• Consider full valve replacement if the body is cracked, heavily corroded, or frequently failing.
• Regular maintenance reduces downtime and prevents emergency failures.

Who is this for: The Magic Plastics CR Valve Replacement KIT 0801-20H-RK is ideal for plumbing professionals, facilities maintenance teams, and experienced DIY homeowners who need a corrosion-resistant rebuild solution for 2" slip check valves in water systems. Choose this kit when the valve body remains sound but internal parts are worn, you require parts matched to part number 26-395-1200, and you want a quick, cost-effective way to restore valve performance without a full replacement.
