The unit includes a polypropylene ball sealing ring that blocks reverse flow when drainage backs up, then allows normal flow to resume once conditions clear. Constructed entirely of polypropylene, this backwater device resists corrosion and chemical exposure common in residential and light commercial drain environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers during new construction or as a retrofit solution in existing drain assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis backwater device is intended for use with 1-piece floor drains or similar drain bodies that feature a 2-inch LPS female threaded throat. It is appropriate for residential basements, utility rooms, and light commercial spaces where floor drains are at risk of sewage or stormwater backup. The male LPS threaded connection allows direct engagement into the drain throat without additional adapters in compatible installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents flooding by blocking reverse flow caused by drain system backups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolypropylene ball sealing ring provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant check mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull polypropylene construction resists chemical and moisture degradation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMale LPS thread design threads directly into 2-inch LPS female threaded drain throats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged individually in a header bag for easy point-of-sale or jobsite handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 1-piece floor drains or similar drain bodies with a 2-inch LPS female threaded throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off or isolate the drain system and ensure the drain body is dry and clean before threading in the device. Hand-tighten first, then use appropriate pliers or a strap wrench to seat the male LPS threads fully without overtightening polypropylene fittings. Verify free movement of the ball sealing ring after installation to confirm the check mechanism operates correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male LPS Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polypropylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealing Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polypropylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 per case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OATEY COMPANY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42725\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OATEY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525415272754,"sku":"42725","price":55.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/92a67d86cea6c90471e15e1b46f6734a.jpg?v=1785473105","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oatey-company-42725-male-backwater-device-2-inch-lps","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
