#51 — Plumbing Installed; Proper Backflow DevicesPriority5-205.12

Inspector's notes

Observed at mop sink in the back of the facility with a not-in-use chemical dispenser that is directly connected with a hose and a Y-valve to a faucet with an AVB. Please have a separate water line installed upstream from the AVB for the chemical dispenser in order to allow the AVB to operate without being under constant pressure. The faucet with the AVB should be able to be used independently of the chemical dispenser. This will prevent chemicals from being syphoned into the clean water supply. PIC disconnected at the time of inspection and will keep disconnected when not in use. Also discussed with PIC the installation/use of a Y-valve on a faucet with or without an AVB is prohibited, because the system is not designed, constructed and installed according to law. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
