Like tut said, the purpose is to stop your crank case from being pressurized. You could technically place the check valve on the other side of the catch can, but I don't think many cans are designed with taking positive pressure in mind. It's easier to just put the check valve after the can and not worry about it.

As for size, I think it's 1/2" inside diameter at the intake manifold but steps up to 5/8". I could be mistaken about that though.
Thanks for the clarification! I'll be adding this in with the install.

Like @King Tut said, I think this is more of a precautionary measure, not a requirement. Kind of like the hose clamp solution. It makes sense as long as the valve does its job.

Now to make sure I put the valve in the right direction.
