Hello,
I am looking to put a wet bar in the one area of my home. There is currently a cleanout port there (see Picture). I know that I should and will keep clean out access there even if I tap into it to drain for my wet bar, but was wondering if I should be concerned about backwater protection? There are other backwater valves located upstream.
I am pretty sure they don't make a backwater valve that can be mounted vertically, but I could be wrong.
Are there any options to keep some type of backwater protection?
I few things I looked at:
1. Installing a 1 1/4 check valve prior to the cleanout.
2. installing a 3 inch backwater valve under my bar counter, but before the sink drain (i.e. Floor Cleanout -> 90 degree elbow -> Backwater valve -> A few more bends, PVC, and a reducing coupling -> sink drain)
3. A plain old ball valve (yup, if left open--there might be a problem).
Is any of this possible, am I missing something, or do you think I don't need backwater protection??
Thanks
Nate
