R89 G. Check valves, provided that the requirements of R89 are still met.
Another useful item that AutomationDirect sales that not enough teams use is 1/4" push connect plugs.
Very useful for closing off solenoids and things. Much easier then using a T fitting and a loop of tube like some teams do.
