Is the in-line check valve needed for for the hot water line

Gary : Glad to see that you agree with most of us and that Gerry Douglas designed the C34 according to the ABCYA design standards!!

Thanks Ron and Gary for the follow thru and the importance of the check valve.
I just ordered it on amazon, I will replace it by the end of the week.
Thanks again,
Ron

Ours froze and cracked shortly after we purchased, many (23) years ago.

Maybe I should install a new one?

Alodo : As mentioned, I'd replace it.  Your boat your choice!!

Sorry my post wasn't clear.   

I removed it and have been doing without for all this time.
