Sewage gases: check valve?
Hi,
My washer is basically at the same level as the main stack (or whatever its horizontal equivalent). So there is not sufficient elevation to have a p-trap on the exhaust (take my word for it - I just can't do it). So I bought a check valve at HD. I think it's intended for a sump pump. Will it solve my problem? And if so - what's the best location to install it. The PVC exhaust that the washer drains into has a vertical part that then flows into a horizontal part. Is better to install the check valve is far down the stream as possible? or the other way around? or six of one? Many thanks in advance! Aaron |
