Hello everyone, Just trying to make my life easy and find a 1" barb check valve for my return line. Anyone knows where to find one? No success searching online yet. If not I'll have to use a slip/slip with some fittings of course. Thanks in advance if you have some info.

Here is one for marine use.
I would just get the clear ones and add fittings. I like to see mine and have spares I can easily swap out when needed.
Well the link did not work. Just look on amazon they are there.

Life being easy is without a check valve on the return. It can and will fail.. One day.

The better route is to plan a power outage and make sure the sump supports all the water that goes in it in that event. AND TEST IT.

Well life is never easy, that's what I learnt. I actually plan on doing both. I'll set it up to make sure the sump can take it but I also want a valve just to stop the back flow.
