Inspector's notes

Observed the spray arm nozzle at the 3-compartment sink to be extending several inches below the flood rim level of the sinks. The spring and hose are in disrepair, with the water-line exposed due to the metal around the hose separating. An air gap between the water supply inlet and the flood level rim of the PLUMBING FIXTURE, EQUIPMENT, or nonFOOD EQUIPMENT shall be at least twice the diameter of the water supply inlet and may not be less than 25 mm (1 inch). The water outlet of a drinking water system must not be installed so that it contacts water in sinks, equipment, or other fixtures that use water. Providing an air gap between the water supply outlet and the flood level rim of a plumbing fixture or equipment prevents contamination that may be caused by backflow.
