I have mentioned this repeatedly over the years and it falls on deaf ears. It even says on the manufacturers website that it should not be installed where expelled water will cause harm. Here is one example of my posts.

CHECK VALVE
(571 Vac Chk) must be 6” above flood
rim of the highest fixture connected

where the venting of water from the
device during normal functioning will
cause damage.)
