Outfit General Wire 2F Flood-Guard™ 2″ Float Backwater Valve for Floor Drains
Help stop messy basement backups before they start. The General Wire Flood-Guard™ 2F drops into a standard 2″ floor drain and works like a check valve: when sewage backs up, the float rises to seal the opening; when water recedes, it reopens for normal drainage. Molded rubber gaskets and plated/stainless hardware stand up to everyday use, and installation takes just a screwdriver—no repiping required.

Prevent Costly Sewer Backups
Flood-Guard™ operates like a check valve in your floor drain. During a surcharge, the float lifts and seals the opening to help keep sewage from bubbling into your space—then automatically reopens once pressure drops.
Everyday Protection, Minimal Upkeep
Designed for minor to moderate back-up situations common in heavy rains and municipal surcharges. Once in place, it passively protects without power or maintenance beyond periodic inspection.
Durable Materials, Built To Last
Molded rubber gaskets provide a snug seal, while plated or stainless-steel metal parts resist corrosion in damp floor-drain environments. The simple float mechanism is proven and service-friendly.
Installer-Friendly Drop-In Design
No cutting or gluing: remove the strainer, lower the unit, and tighten the screw to expand the gasket for a secure fit. A basic screwdriver and a few minutes are typically all you need.
Sized Right For 2″ Drains
The 2F model fits standard 2″ floor drains found in basements, utility rooms, and garages. For larger drains, Flood-Guard™ float models are also available in 3″ and 4″ sizes.
Know The Limits
For extreme or extended back-pressure events, consider alternative solutions (e.g., standpipe models or dedicated backwater valves). Always follow local code and manufacturer guidelines.
