VERIFIED ANSWERS(DETAILED
ANSWERS)|ALREADY GRADED A+
A valve designed to open in the direction of normal flow and close with the
reversal of flow. - (answers)Check valve
Overflow level - (answers)The maximum height that water or liquid will rise in
a receptacle before it flows over the rim.
Backflow - (answers)A hydraulic condition, caused by a difference in pressures,
in which non-potable water or other fluids flow into a potable water system.
RPBP - (answers)A shortened name for a reduced pressure backflow preventer
Air Gap - (answers)In plumbing, the unobstructed vertical distance through the
free atmosphere between the lowest opening from any pipe or outlet
supplying water to a tank, plumbing fixture, or other container, and the
overflow rim of that container
potential cross connection - (answers)Any arrangements of pipes, fittings, or
devices that indirectly connects a potable water supply to a non-potable source
Dysentery - (answers)A disease (sometime waterborne) caused by pathogenic
microorganisms and characterized by severe diarrhea with passage of mucus
and blood
Backsiphonage - (answers)A backflow condition in which the pressure in the
distribution system is less than atmospheric pressure (subatmospheric)
, 2
Hose bib - (answers)A faucet to which a hose may be attached
Carrier - (answers)A human or animal that carries germs and can pass them to
another person without getting the disease himself.
Reduced pressure zone backflow preventer - (answers)A mechanical device
consisting of two independnetly operating, spring-loaded check valves with a
reduced pressure zone between check valves.
Auxiliary supply - (answers)Any water source or system, other than the potable
water supply, that may be available in the building or premesis.
Actual Cross Connection - (answers)Any arrangement of pipes, fittings, that
connects a potable water supply directly to a non-potable source at all times.
Hepatitis - (answers)An inflammation of the liver caused by a pathogenic virus.
Symptoms are jaundice, general weakness, nausea, and the presence of dark
urine.
Feed water - (answers)Water that is added to a commercial or industrial
system and subsequently used by the system, such as water that is fed to a
boiler to produce steam.
Pressure vacuum breaker - (answers)A device designed to prevent
backsiphonsge, consisting of one independently operating spring-loaded check
valve and an independently operating spring-loaded air-inlet valve.
Bypass - (answers)In cross-connection control, any pipe arrangement that
passes water around a protective device, causing it to be ineffective.
, 3
Gastroenteritis - (answers)An intestinal disease caused by pathogenic
microorganisms, which involves inflammation of the stomach and intestines.
Symptoms are diarrhea, pain, and nausea.
Back pressure - (answers)A backflow condition in which a pump, elevated tank,
boiler or other means results in a downstream pressure greater than the
supply pressure
Incubation period - (answers)The time period that elapses between the time a
person is exposed to some disease and the time that person shows the first
sign of symptom of the disease.
Cross connection - (answers)Any arrangement of pipes, fitting, fixtures, or
devices that connects a non potable system to a potable water system
Atmospheric vacuum breaker - (answers)A mechanical device consisting of a
float check valve and an air inlet port designed to prevent backsiphonage
Double Check Valve Assembly - (answers)A testable mechanical device
consiting of two independently operating, spring-loaded check valves
Potable - (answers)Water that is safe for human consumption
Backflow - (answers)The reversal of the normal direction of flow
Backpressure - (answers)An elevation of pressure in the downstream piping
system above the supply pressure
