I'm looking for a check valve with -6an male and -6an female connections that can attach to the end of a hose. The second fuel pump doesn't have a checkvalve built in.
Is aeromotive the only choice?

I beleive if you look at the flow of that valve it flows from the male to the female so it is intended to screw into a pump outlet and have a hose with a adaptor on the other end. So it will not work for putting in between two hose conections.

That's what I need, to unscrew the hose from the fitting on the tank and insert a checkvalve. One Walbro has a little ball bearing checkvalve, the other doesn't. The aeromotive checkvalve is about $70.

When you get to the site link, clik on "specs". It explains the correct use of this item.
Doing so, will/can cause the pump to cavitate, and self destruct.

I ended up picking up one of the Aeromotive checkvalves.
Thanks for the caution, but I will be installing it after the in-tank fuel pump.
The tank has dual in-tank pumps, and an outlet for each outside the tank, two hoses then go to a Y-block and into an 8an line. The original (walbro) pump has a checkvalve, the second (walbro) pump doesn't have a checkvalve. I'll add the Aeromotive checkvalve to the outlet belonging to the second pump. It's operational only when activated by a gas pedal microswitch.
