Chin_Lee is this from experience? Why asking is just waiting for a valve then I'm planning a to convert to a Herbie with the reason being gurgling in the lines (display itself is quiet with the 2 - 2" Dursos) so was planning the valve just above the sump. Is having the gate valve in the basement doable?
