6" Backwater Valves

Mainline Straight Fit Extendable Backwater Valves in ABS and PVC

These 4" and 6" Backwater Valves drop less than 1/2" from Inlet to Outlet

The newly crafted Mainline ML-SF668 Extendible Backwater Valve is a great choice for new and retrofit situations where a 6" valve is needed.

3" ML-SF334 & 4" ML-SF446 Extendable Backwater Valves are also available now.

The STRAIGHT-FITTM valve is Mainline’s latest addition to the Extendible Backwater Valve series.  This is a normally-closed gate automatic backwater valve design.

STRAIGHT-FITTM valves come in 4” and 6” (both models are now available) and have features that will make STRAIGHT-FIT one of the most asked for valves in the industry!

Produced in both Schedule 40 PVC and ABS, the STRAIGHT-FITTM has a body that is extendible to whatever depth you require by simply gluing a riser of Schedule 40 (like material) pipe into the valve body and extending to ground level.  The 6" valve uses an 8" diameter riser and the 4" valve uses a 6" diameter riser.  This sourced on the jobsite and cut-to-size on site riser is to be capped with an air-tight cap.

The normally closed gate is glued to a piece of ¾” PVC pipe (sourced on the jobsite and cut on site to proper length) to form a tool to extract the gate from the valve body.

Mainline has integrated "Smart-CURVE"TM technology into these valves which serves as a dual function;  First, this system features a "curved gate" that is designed to allow a sewer rodding snake to feed and retract without catching on the gate itself!  The other added benefit is a "Smart-CURVE"TM "cleat insert" in the body that will ease and guide the retrieval of the snake without hanging up on the body

 The STRAIGHT-FITTM also features an optional Test Gate that can be used to pressure test the system or to isolate the property for whatever purpose; non -payment of services, vacation properties, servicing etc.
