Hank -

I think if I made a cut access, I would rather do the cut inside the linen closet - less noticeable. And, I do plan on a peek through the electrical socket.

.

However, with your advice and JRTJH's thoughts, I believe I do have a plan! JRTJH is correct. The Shark Bite is only rated for water. Testing it would give one comfort, but how long would it last?

B&K has a 1/2" Swing Valve Check Valve that is rated to 150# WOG (water, oil, gas). Perfect!

Just install a couple of Flair PEX fittings, and connect the check valve, and I'll no longer have anxieties about water flowing through the transfer switch, or a 50 Amp puddle of water in the basement.

More chores for the Holidays!
