You want to install shower in the basement tying into the main drain for the house should there be some kind of backflow preventer installed between the shower trap and the main line to prevent backup?
If the existing sewer line is lower than basement grade (does it go into the basement floor and out of the house?) you can just connect in to the existing drain. By code, sewer lines must have a slope of 1/4 inch per running foot, meaning that raw sewage will run AWAY from the main plumbing stack of the house. If the sewer line is ABOVE the level of the basement plumbing fixtures, you will need to purchase and install a pump check-valve, and tank to install any plumbing below the house sewer line. If you have any questions, contact a licensed plumber to find out the needs of your home.
How do you replace the check val and where is it?
To replace the check valve, first, turn off the water supply and drain the pipes to avoid spills. Locate the check valve, usually found in the piping system where water flows in one direction. Remove the old valve by unscrewing it or cutting it out, depending on the installation type. Install the new check valve in the same orientation as the old one, ensuring it is securely fastened and leak-free.
