Mainline - Adapt-a-Valve Extendable Backwater Valve
The Adapt-a-Valve Extendable Backwater Valve was invented because there was a need to have easy access to enable servicing of backwater valves deeper than 2 feet. The only other options were expensive and unsightly ‘vaults’ or ‘access culverts’ in which someone had to crawl down to service the backwater valve. Another option, which was strictly against code but done by unscrupulous persons, was to completely bury a valve with no intention of ever servicing the backwater valve. The Adapt-a-Valve not only made extendible backwater valves easy to install, inspect and service, but with the special gate slot molded right into the body, it could easily be used for ‘pressure’ testing the ground works by adding the Test Gate feature. Hence, the name Adapt-a-Valve – because it could be adapted to various functions!
The combination Mainline “Adapt-a-Valve” Backwater valve is a break through in technology and is quickly setting a New Standard across North America.
The Adapt-a-Valve comes in two sizes; 3” with a 4” riser and 4” with a 6” riser.
The Adapt-a-Valve has integrally molded guide slots in the body which allow the fitting to be converted at any time to a backwater valve or a pressure testing device by simply adding from the list of the accessories available, should the need arise!
