           Ed, yes,  very easy.  When your looking at the bottom of the
filter you will see  holes around the perimeter just inside the rubber seal.
Beneath those  holes is a rubber flap.  No flap, no anti-drain back valve.  The
spring loaded valve you see inside the filter is the over pressure valve.   All
filters have them.

>>>>>>>OK, but can I tell if it has the  anti-drainback feature by looking at
it? In the W719/5, there is something  just inside which looks spring-loaded,
and I can't see down to the bottom. The  W719/12, looks like a cheap gemeric,
I can see the sides and bottom, but the  one source I can find that lists
part numbers lists this one as the approriate  one. Is the anti-drainback valve
something I can  see?<<<<<<<<<<
