overflow question

[sbrady5pts]

I am kinda new to overflow systems, so I neded a little help. Is there any way to stop the overflow? Like some kinda overflow plug or something? Or is the only way to stop by emptying the tank below the bulkhead.
Thanks in advance

Put a ballvalve on the drain.

Put a ballvalve on the drain.

Where could I find a Ball valve? I see you are from Long Island too, any local places?

 

[JAFRIAS]

any hardware plumbing type store ballvalves do restrict the full flow some due to the smaller size hole in ball part of the valve if this is a concern get a larger size BV

you should be able to get them at any hardware store.

Lowes has a pretty decent supply of schedule 40 and 80 PVC parts. For the tougher to find 90° sweeps I use a pool supply on route 27 that has prolly every sch40 fitting there is.

Funny I thort I looked thru some 1-1/2 B-Valves recently and they were the same diameter throughout with no restrictions or reductions at the ball.
