Mainline extendible backwater valve

The Straight-Fit extendible backwater valve series from Mainline Backflow Products is available in 4- and 6-inch diameters.

A curved gate allows a sewer snake to feed and retract without catching on the gate. A cleat insert in the body eases and guides the retrieval of the snake without hang-up. An optional test gate can be used to pressure test the system or to isolate property. 877/734-8691; www.backwatervalve.com.
