Inspector's notes

Small holes in wall in mop sink area. Caulking at wall/basin junction of mop sink is missing in back-right corner. Caulking on top edge of restroom hand sink is beginning to crack. Grout missing from top edge of coved base tiles back-left corner of 3 compartment sink area. Corner panel at back door's right side is damaged and separating from the wall.

Inspector's notes

A chemical dispenser was connected to the mop sink faucet below the air vacuum breaker via a wasting-tee device. A PLUMBING SYSTEM shall be designed, constructed, and installed according to LAW. Installing a “side-kick”, similar downstream shut-off device, or obstruction places back pressure on the AVB. Since the atmospheric vacuum breakers could be kept on under constant pressure at all times, they will fail under such installations. Chemical dispensers that are connected to a faucet with a pressure bleeding device on the faucet outlet, this includes devices referred to as a wasting tee, flow-through device, or otherwise known as a “sidekick” device are considered obstructions and are not approved by the Department, as they are prone to fouling/plugging failure under typical water and operating conditions found within Maricopa County. There is now a potential cross connection hazard. The device was disconnected from the faucet as a temporary correction. ***2nd consecutive violation*** Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
