Springloaded flapper design: The check valve uses a springloaded flapper mechanism that effectively reduces water hammer noise typically found in standard check valves, providing quieter operation in your plumbing system. Transparent valve body: This sump check valve features a transparent body, allowing you to visually monitor water flow and valve operation so issues can be identified before they become problems. Durable materials: Constructed from robust ABS plastic and metal components, this 1.5 inch backflow preventer is built to withstand regular use and deliver longlasting performance in your home's plumbing system. Easy installation: The 1.5 inch size is compatible with most standard plumbing configurations. Check your pipe measurements against our size chart to confirm a proper fit for straightforward setup. Use scenarios: Basement sump pump discharge: Install in the sump line to prevent backflow from sewer lines and reduce water hammer during pump cycles.
