Picture of Check Valve Sorry for the confusion. It has a a threaded cap with an internal compression gasket that is supposed to seal the connection between the pipe and valve.

Same set-up I have a similar setup I am working on in my basement. Just curious..do you have to run a separate vent line for your tub even though you tub drain ties into you main vent stack and looks to be relatively close? If so - I guess I need to run a new vent line!!

Valve - Part 2 Thanks HJ, I now understand the markings on the valve. The valve is a PVC type - Should I use a wrench to tighten - or by hand? Also - Inside the valve are "stops" where the PVC pipe won't enter into the valve. Does the pipe need to extend all the way to these stops or can it...
