Backflow occurs when water flows opposite to the intended direction,
potentially carrying contaminants.
8. Backsiphonage is caused by:
A. Negative pressure in the supply piping
B. Excessive positive pressure
C. Gravity drainage
D. Thermal expansion
Backsiphonage results from negative or reduced pressure creating a siphon
effect.
9. Backpressure backflow occurs when:
A. Supply pressure drops
B. Downstream pressure exceeds supply pressure
C. Gravity causes reverse flow
D. Temperature decreases
Backpressure occurs when a downstream system generates pressure greater
than the supply pressure.
10. The most reliable method of backflow prevention is:
