    If I understand your question correctly... you want to connect sink drain into outgoing waste water discharge pipe...

    I say no. Even with check valve installed. That pipe is under pressure. If clogged, it will push sewage up to your sink.

    Can you run the sink discharge to the pit where the pump is located ?
