Sioux Chief 869 Series PVC Backwater Valve, DWV
The Sioux Chief 869 Series is a line of PVC backwater valves built for horizontal, gravity-flow drain-waste-vent (DWV) lines, available in 2" and 6" connection sizes to match standard DWV branch and main line diameters. Every model in the series features a removable threaded access cap that lets a plumber or contractor open the line for inspection and maintenance of the internal flapper mechanism without cutting into the pipe run. These valves are designed to prevent sewer backflow in horizontal DWV piping and are intended for rough-in installation behind a wall or under a floor, upstream of fixtures that could be affected by a backed-up main line. Models are manufactured in China and packaged for rough-in crews stocking multiple installations on the same job.
Key Features
- Trade Size Range: Available in 2" and 6" connections sized for standard DWV branch and main lines.
- Durable Construction: Molded PVC body suited for drain-waste-vent piping systems.
- Threaded Access Cap: Removable threaded access allows easy maintenance and inspection of the valve mechanism without disturbing the surrounding pipe.
- Extension Compatible: For the 6" backwater valve, use 10" Schedule 40 pipe (not included) to bring the access cap up to grade or finished floor level.
- Orientation Requirement: Engineered strictly for horizontal, gravity-flow installations — do not install vertically, as the flapper mechanism relies on gravity to seat correctly.
- Packaging: Supplied 8 EA per package for rough-in crews stocking multiple installations.

Why Sioux Chief?
Sioux Chief builds the 869 Series PVC backwater valves with a threaded access cap so plumbers can inspect and service the internal flapper mechanism without re-cutting the DWV line, across both the 2" and 6" sizes in the lineup. The PVC construction and gravity-flow design make these a straightforward rough-in component for horizontal drain runs that need reliable backflow protection. Packaged 8 EA per box, they're a practical stock item for crews running multiple installations on the same job, whether servicing a 2" branch or a 6" main.
