The flapper should be removed somehow as this can cause a blockage if left in your line.
If it is completely submerged with no flow in any direction the flapper will float. The flapper needs some head pressure to either open or close if it is coming back up into the main.
Oatey does not carry a 2" backwater valve.
No, this must be installed horozontally.
This is for 4" - Valve hub fits DWV pipe and can be adapted for sewer and drain pipe.
Please reach out to oatey customer service for assistance with this question. (800) 321-9532
This Backwater valve allows a one directional flow of water and a flapper that will close to prevent any back flow (assuming nothing is in the line holding the flapper open). We recommend you call Oatey Technical to discuss your specific application details. 1-800-203-1155.
Yes, this product can be used outside below grade. Remember that if the backwater cap is below finished grade, a riser pipe will need to extend upwards off of the backwater cap to the finished grade of the cement or grass. This riser is needed for inspection and cleaning access. The backwater valve must be installed level to allow the internal flapper to operate properly.
The inlet diameter is 3 inches and the outlet diameter is 4 inches.
There is a flap inside to prevent water from flowing back
