PCV Check valve

Anyone know where I can get a check valve like the one in the rev xtreme catch can...or a suitable replacement?

Didn't know there was one on the catch can, look at McMaster Carr for check valves.
BTW, what is the reason are you blown?

I have a catch can, but I noticed that all the rev extreme catch cans have a check vale incorporated in the outlet port of the can that goes to the TB. I was trying to add one to mine as well. From my understanding anything that gets past the can at WOT can in turn get into the TB? That is the reason for the internal check valve? What I am unsure of if they suggest to remove the pcv vale by their routing diagrams.

The PCV valve IS a check valve. If you have one and there is no reason to believe your catch can will ever be pressurized with explosive air injection, then don't worry about it.
