Thanks for your reply. There are floor drains in the basement but I
believe they go to my sump pit and are not part of the sewer system in
my house. I will try to get a ball valve.

Just curious....why are you opting for a manually operated ball valve
instead of a set-it-and-forget-it check valve?


I am opting for a ball valve because I think it will be more
reliable. The sink will rarely be used so I will just keep the valve
closed all the time except for special occasions when I'm using the
sink (which is in a bar in my basement).

Thanks for your feedback everyone!
