after gate valve, because when you want make maintenance for sump pump , you don't want all water in the pipe drop down
sump pump - gate valve - non return valve
If you have such a valve, it was installed as an aftermarket modification. Check with whoever installed it.
since check valve holds water in the line can a hand pump be installed between the check valve and water tank?
1.5 or 2 inches depending on the multi-port valve that is installed. Hatawa
Generally, placed close to the supply discharge of the pump.
A reciprocating pump is basically a piston in a cylinder with 2 check valves in ports in front of the piston. When the piston is moving back in the cylinder, a check valve allows fluid to fill the cylinder from the intake port, while the discharge port is blocked by its check valve. When the piston goes back the other way, the check valve in the discharge port allows fluid to pass while the check valve in the intake port closes.
Installing downstream of blowing valve is more secure. You can close the valve and ensure that steam is not coming then you can inspect or change the plate.
EXHAUST VALVE
Someone installed the wrong type of check valve
That is the handles, screws, face plate and everything except the rough in valve. The rough in is the main body of the valve that is installed in the wall before drywalling or putting the tub/shower in. The trim is put on after the walls are finished.
The unit must be installed 12 inches (300 mm) above ground and no more than 30", check with local authorities. The RP assemblies may spit out water of relief port for a variety of reasons so they must have a floor drain if being installed inside a building. Some of the reasons for spitting or flow from relief valve ports are if they detect backflow, inlet/outlet pressure fluctuations, dirt, or debris on first check valve or relief valve. Check trouble-shooting guides. It is also recommended that a strainer be installed with a RP device due to the sensitivity of the check valves and relief valve ports to dirt or debris
This is a device which prevents the reverse flow of air, water (which ever type of system it is installed on). A check valve is an anti-backflow device that keeps a gas or fluid from flowing backwards in a designed system if the pressure falls or goes negative. In your home for instance
It keeps the water that is pumped out from flowing back into the sump when the pump shuts off. Most sumps discharge several feet above the hole the pump sits in. If there was not a check valve the sump would just refill and pump out the water over and over.
