Sewage at my home ties into a private sewer system which has been troublesome lately and the check valve I have sometimes does not seal off 100%.
So I am looking to install a manual shut off valve in the basement of my home just before it exits out the foundation. Original 6" cast iron, plan to cut and use a mission connection.
I know a 6" cast gate valve is the standard which has been used for years but seem to carry a price tag of $600 or more. Not sure my best place to source on from and also require flange adapter to convert over to mission connection.
I have found 6" Ball valves which can be found on **** as surplus but new for under $100. They are rated to 150 PSI and are a slip connection. Easy to use mission band on.
Wondering if a 6" ball valve is OK for a sewer application. I am guessing any solids coming from my home would not cause a sealing problem for this application.
Any suggestion are appreciated for a valve that will work to meet my needs with a fair price.
