I usually get my plumbing parts from Home Depot. I've been looking around for a 3/4" check-valve, and have been told to check out Renown Industries.

Unless you have a very powerful reason to want to downsize to 1", you are going to be better off with 1.5".

Not sure what type of standpipe you're planning but bigger is usually quieter.
