You can also use them in place of flange gaskets when you replace old drains or repair leaks caused by loose hose clamps.\r\rThese sleeves come in a variety of lengths and diameters, so you can easily find one that fits around your sink's drain pipe perfectly. Some are made from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, while others use silicone to offer more flexibility and better durability for long-lasting wear. \r\rTo install these protective covers on the sections of U-trap beneath your sinks, remove any necessary parts from an old sleeve before cutting it to length with heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife.\r\rYou then need to wrap the new plastic cover around the section of piping where damage has occurred.

When used in sewer backup systems, the backwater valve is also referred to as the backflow valve or the sewer backup valve.\r\rWhen one or more fixtures are flushed simultaneously, water can flow through each fixture at different rates. This results in unequal pressure in the piping system and may cause siphoning of water out of traps in susceptible fixtures. That circumstance creates the potential for sewage gases to be drawn inside the home—a condition known as \"backflow\". Siphonage also increases the risk of dirty water backing up into an unflushed toilet bowl or overflowed sink - which not only poses health hazards but creates water damage.\r\rThe most commonly used backwater valve is the swing check valve. The swing valve uses a hinged flap that maintains a watertight seal until enough wastewater builds up to allow for the opening of the valve. When wastewater levels subside, an internal spring mechanism closes the valve again, making it capable of withstanding positive pressure from below as well as negative pressure above, which makes this type of backwater valve more effective than gravity-operated devices. Most standard residential installations have one or two valves controlling all drain lines running between fixtures and either main sewer line or septic tank respectively.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you know if you have a backwater valve?","text":"If you have a backwater device, it may be in the form of a standard plug and is usually located near your main shutoff for the house.
