Hi all -
I'm getting ready to extend water pipes from the exterior of the house out into the yard. My house and yard are built into the side of a fairly steep hill. The challenge is, the only viable source to tap into is about 8' below the top of where I want to put my valves (it's on the exterior wall of a walk-out basement). I remember reading that anti-siphon valves are supposed to be 12" higher than any of the outlets -- true? An alternative would be to run pipes from the lower level up to the living level, and install one of the valves there.
Thanks for any ideas...
