Flood-Guard operates like a check valve to seal off water back-up caused by overloaded sewers. Water flows normally through the drain until the sewer begins to back up. Then the Flood-Guard float rises to seal off the drain opening until the water recedes. Review: Best at preventing backflow - This is an essential item for my home. I highly recommend it. . I have had a 2" version for the last ten years in an outdoor basement stairwell. During that time, my only complain was that it was slow to drain in the forward direction (more on the later). The rubber finally hardened up and it stopped doing its job. I took it out and hoped my problem would magically be gone, but no. Time to buy another. This time, I modified it to increase the forward flow. I opened the three holes on top with a die grinder. But the most improvement came from removing about 3/16" from the long rubber. This allows the valve to open more. It still functions perfectly to prevent back flow, but allows much more volume in the normal flow direction. Again, highly satisfied with this item! Review: Nightmare Prevention. - We had our basement flooded with city sewage water three times because the city of Rexburg, ID inspector signed off on an improperly installed back flow preventer. I was quoted over a thousand dollars to install a new floor drain with backflow preventer. A friend recommended this which works perfectly. No more problems. ## Features - Easily installs with just a screwdriver - Prevents back-up - Molded rubber gaskets - All stainless steel metal parts - Not recommended for extreme, extended pressure ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000QD5H04 | | Additional Features | Waterproof | | Best Sellers Rank | #137,380 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #105 in Water Softeners | | Brand | General Pipe Cleaners | | Brand Name | General Pipe Cleaners | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 364 Reviews | | Finish Type | matte black | | Finish Types | matte black | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00093122650000 | | Handle Lever Placement | Center | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Handle Type | Push Button | | Hole Count | 1 | | Included Components | GENERAL FIT ALL BACK WATER 2" | | Installation Method | Single Hole | | Is Electric | No | | Item Type Name | 2FH | | Manufacturer | General Wire Spring | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2FH | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | One-year warranty against defect or breakage. | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | 2F | | Model Number | 2FH | | Mounting Type | Wall Mount | | Number Of Handles | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Flood Prevention | | Room Type | Basement | | Spout Design | straight | | Spout Height | 2 Inches | | Spout Reach | 2 Inches | | Style Name | Drain Trap | | UPC | 785497831015 093122650000 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Valve Type | Compression Valve | | Warranty Type | limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** General Pipe Cleaners - **Color:** Black - **Finish Type:** matte black - **Hole Count:** 1 - **Included Components:** GENERAL FIT ALL BACK WATER 2" - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Mounting Type:** Wall Mount - **Number of Handles:** 1 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Flood Prevention - **Special Feature:** Waterproof ## Images ![General Specialties Flood-Guard for 2" Flood Drains - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618eTyXeghL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best at preventing backflow *by B***N on December 11, 2025* This is an essential item for my home.
