greetings fellow plumbers!!
i have been searching these threads for the definitive check valve placement for a sewage ejector pump installation. i have received a request from a friend who says he can hear leakage from his vertically-installed check valve...
from what i gather here, the check valves should be installed horizontally to prevent solids from sticking in the gate.
however, i have also seen opinions that placement does not matter, or that vertical installation is preferred.
so, discuss please, here and often!!!
thanks!
