Good idea or not... since when can you put any kind of mechanical device ( a check valve) in a place that can never again be accessed for service? If it's under the concrete, under a permanently installed shower - if it fails somebody is going to be faced with a major remodeling job just to get to it. Fail.
wow where are you people from there is no code that says u need 3/4 to a shower and the check valve is a great idea or do you like sewage in your showr if there was a backup that was good clen work
and of choourse you can snake it the flapper goes toward the main
is it better to have seperate water lines for your your fixtires in lets say this bathrrom or can u run a 3/4 line for your hot and cold and t-off where need be ?
another handy mna work... fail.... u need 2 bring 3/4 water lines to sshover valve.. thats code........... unles ur a idiot handy man like these guys in video

check valve will work if its downstream from p-trap... I lived in a house that flooded due to hydrostatic pressure in drainfield... there was an article in finehomebuilding,com about how to mitigate basements from flooding under similar conditions.
Why did they waste 3 feet of 1/2" copper on the cold feed to the lav? And another No vote on the check valve for the shower drain. I understand the theory, but again, you will never be able to clean the drain with a snake. Are we in a basement of a property with terminal main stoppage here?
I am a plumber in Minnesota and I never heard of putting a check valve for a shower either. Is the check valve accessible? If not you might have issues in the future.
@tikidog101 Sure it's accessible. All you have to do is remove the fiberglass shower stall with a recip saw, and then use an electric hammer driil to break out the mortar they used to fill in the floor. $10 check valve $10,000 (literally) to replace. No problem ;-)

3/4 hot line run excessively(to 2nd to last fixture) means lag time when you want hot water at a lav. Residential plumbing speaking only.

what a waste of 1 minute of my day. Why didn't you just say look at a picture in a book- you would have saved 55 seconds of that minute.
