An inline check valve (10) has a valve body (12) with an enlarged diameter valve chamber (14) in which a cage assembly (44) is mounted. Cage assembly (44) has a cylindrical body (48) fitted about the outlet flow passage (18) and projecting in unsupported cantilevered relation within the valve chamber (14). The free end portion (56) of body (48) mounted a piston check valve member (50) thereon for relative reciprocal movement between open and closed positions. Upon a reversal of fluid flow, the entire rear face for the check valve member (50) is exposed to fluid pressure from the outlet flow passage (18), and the check valve member (50) immediately moves to closed position under the influence of spring (86) and fluid pressure. Cage assembly (44) may be inserted within and removed from the inlet fluid passage (16) upon removal of the inlet seat (36) and retainer (42).
