T&Pvalvemeaning

A backwater valve is a device installed in a drainage system to prevent reverse flow. When installed correctly, the valves prevent sewage from re-entering the structure. A backwater valve is not to be confused with a backflow prevention assembly. Backflow prevention assemblies are installed in drinking water supply systems and fall under the jurisdiction of the plumbing code and/or the City Water Code. Search Portland.gov under the subject Backflow to find out more information.
