Hi, thanks for your review. That particular check valve is meant for use in the Hunter Pro Spray heads only, so it certainly wouldn't have worked if you attempted to install it in an I-20 or any other Hunter rotor. Most versions of the I-20 come with a check valve installed, but if you previously had the version minus the check valve you're correct that the best way to upgrade that would be to purchase the I-20 with the built in check valve.
“Very happy that I was able to find and purchase this item. Excellent service and follow up. Delivery made it on time and ahead of schedule delivery date. Highly recommend for your special and unique sprinkler needs.”
