#51 — Plumbing Installed; Proper Backflow DevicesPriority5-205.12

Inspector's notes

Observed at mop sink by the office a not-in-use chemical dispenser that is directly connected with a hose a faucet with an AVB. Discussed to 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. Though one was not seen at time of inspection it was mentioned to PIC the installation/use of a Y-valve on a faucet with or without an AVB is prohibited due to, because the system is not designed, constructed and installed according to law. PIC disconnected at the time of inspection. PIC will communicate to the chemical installation company for a permanent fix and continue to disconnect the chemicals when not in use. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
