You might want to look at shurflo.com. It shows the rebuilt kits for all their pumps. All pumps show a check valve kit. The physical location of the check valves are not shown in the drawings. I would think that the check valve is located in the discharge head area. The drawing for the 4.0 and 5.7 series pumps show the old pump housing. Chuck B

The check valve could be built in to the pump discharge but it is definitely
past the impeller and volute. Therefore no back pressure is on the volute
except incoming pressure from the fresh water holding tank.
