I guess if u use a really good check valve it would bee ok but the ones for lock line suck
There is nothing wrong with doing as mentioned and pictured above. I doubt the lock line seal will fail any time soon for one. Also there is an easy solution if you are worried about that. Drill a couple small holes in the PVC return line in the overflow that will stop the syphon. I have pretty well the same over flow as Doug has pictured above, I drilled the under side of the 90 and have no problems, and no need to worry about the lock line failing.
