#51 — Plumbing Installed; Proper Backflow DevicesPriority5-205.12

Inspector's notes

At the mop sink, observed faucet equipped with an AVB and a Y-valve attached supplying water to a chemical dispenser. Installing a Y-valve, similar downstream shut-off device, or obstruction places back pressure on the AVB. Both sides of a Y-valve connected to a sink for a chemical dispenser are pressurized; one side supplying water to the chemical feeder and the other side to the shut-off valve on the Y-valve, or to a hose attached. Since, AVB’s could be kept on under constant pressure at all times, they will fail under such installations. When the faucet is used with a hose on the open side of a Y-valve, there is now a potential cross-connection hazard. Chemical dispensers must be connected to a dedicated water supply. Provided chemical dispenser handout electronically. PIC removed shut-off downstream from atmospheric vacuum breaker at time of inspection. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
