note that alarm image may vary from shipped product

This is an integrated backwater valve flood alarm for the Mainline Top-Check Backwater Valve, powered by a standard 9V battery.

It can be easily installed by simply inserting an included magnet into a factory-provided slot in the Top Check Backwater gate, installing an electromagnetic sensor on the outside rim of the clear plastic cover adjacent to the magnet, and connecting the included wiring he Alarm Box.

The box emits a loud, shrill tone (similar to that of a smoke alarm) to alert you when your Backwater Valve is in active and protecting you from a sewer line backup.

We are currently able to offer this unique alarm only within a package that includes the 4" PVC Top-Check Valve, Access Box, Bladder Seal and Alarm.

backwater-valves.com is independently owned and resells products produced and manufactured by Mainline of Canada and assumes no liability for the installation of backwater valves and related products.

Be sure to check with the plumbing authority in the municipality in which your valve is to be installed to insure that your installation is in compliance with local code, and be sure have your valve inspected by your local plumbing inspector after installation. Inspect your valve frequently; the Backwater Valve through its clear plastic housing top, and the Adapt-A-Valve, by removing the gate cassette.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Pipe end-to-end, the Adapt-A-Valve takes up 6" of run in your line and the outlet is 1-1/2" LOWER than the inlet, so in just 6" the level of the pipe at the outlet side needs to be 1-1/2" lower.

Pipe end-to-end, the Backwater Valve takes up 12" of run in your line and the outlet is 3/4" LOWER than the inlet, so in just 12" the level of the pipe at the outlet side needs to be 3/4" lower.

Depending upon the amount of slope in your line (2% minimum is required for proper operation), you may need to replace several feet of pipe downstream from the valve to average out this "loss" of fall.

NOTE: New Straight-Fit and ML-FR4 require less slope. (refer to detail pages for these products)
