PVC Check Valve?

I've done a search, and didn't really find anything out there. I want to install a check valve in a few of my lines, but so far I haven't been able to find anything that has no metal in it. Does anyone have a suggestion of what I can buy and where?

Thanks, guys!

They carry them at Lowes and Home Depot in the plumbing section.

You can find them on Ebay or on Marine Depot. Marine Depot has excellent customer service and pretty good pricing. Link below.

I got my one-way valve from Marine Depot also. It's been in use for about 2 1/2 years now with no problems.
