Flood Prevention Valve 3" #11400

Prevent Basement Flooding

When an obstruction blocks a sanitary sewer to prevent it from flowing freely, the sewer line can back up into the house, ruining carpeting and household possessions. A simple device can keep that from happening.

This flood guard valve mounts quickly and easily into the basement drain. When it's in place, It acts as a check valve, allowing water to flow out but preventing it from backing up into your home. It can be installed in minutes, but it can prevent many hours of unpleasant clean-up. No house should be without one.

This is a 3" float type valve. Gaskets are made of molded rubber, and all metal parts are plated or stainless steel.

The flood preventer using a float, operates like a check valve to seal off water back-up caused by overloaded sewers.

Water flows normally through the drain until the sewer begins to back up. Then the Flood-Guard float rises to seal off the drain opening until the water recedes.

The valve can be installed by the property owner, or by a licensed plumber. Simply insert it into your 3" drain and tighten the screws on the top to expand the rubber seal and hold the valve in place.
