No, probably just a cast-iron, hub-end reducer. Or maybe just a straight coupling -- can't tell from this angle. Used to connect the two different sizes of pipe.

A check valve would typically have a different look with a bulge and an access cover plate.

A hub-end fitting is one what the pipe is cocked into the end bell. This cocking was an old form of connecting the pipe that is normally not used anymore.

I may post more this evening with catalog illustrations.
