@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 ;-)

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.

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.

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?
