Mainline—Adapt-a-Valve Extendable Backwater Valve

May 22, 2020 – The Woodlands, TX – IPS Weld-On recently partnered with Mainline Backflow Products for plumbing and waterworks applications.  We now have access to their complete line of backflow products.

The Adapt-a-Valve Extendable Backwater Valve was invented because there was a need to have easy access to enable servicing  of backwater valves deeper than 2 feet.  The only other options were expensive and unsightly ‘vaults’ or ‘access culverts’ in which someone had to crawl down to service the backwater valve. Another option, which was strictly against code, was to completely bury a valve with no intention of ever servicing the backwater valve. The Adapt-a-Valve not only made extendible backwater valves easy to install, inspect and service, but with the special gate slot molded right into the body, it could easily be used for ‘pressure’ testing the ground works by adding the Test Gate feature. Hence, the name Adapt-a-Valve – because it could be adapted to various functions!  For more information, visit www.backwatervalve.com.
