Why Is Mainline Better? |
||
The answer in 3 words:
|
||
It's a simple matter of physics . . . |
||
100% of our competitors use a hanging normally closed gate, and the effluent (liquid and solids) leaving the building must use energy to open that traditionally closed style gate. That energy comes at the cost of reduced velocity, and a slower moving stream can carry less sediment. |
||
In those old gate designs, that lost velocity translates into sediment being dropped at precisely the point where it will cause the gate to fail (independent studies show that failure to happen within 8 months time). In our humble opinion, a properly installed normally-open gate device is the best way to go. |

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) Mainline Valve Warranty Backwater-valves.com accepts these
