What is an actual cross connection? - answer--Any arrangement of
pipes, fittings, or devices that connects a potable water supply directly
to a non-potable source at all times
What is an Air Gap? - answer--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
What does AVB stand for? - answer--Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker
What is an Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker? - answer--A mechanical
device consisting of a float check valve and an air-inlet port designed to
prevent backsiphonage
What is an auxiliary supply? - answer--Any water source or system,
other than the potable water supply, that may be available in the
building or premises
,What is backflow? - answer--A hydraulic condition, caused by difference
in pressures, in which non-potable water or other fluids flow into a
potable water system
What is backpressure? - answer--A backflow condition in which a pump,
elevated tank, boiler, 0r other means results in a downstream pressure
greater than the supply pressure
What is backsiphange? - answer--A backflow condition in which the
pressure in the distribution system is less than atmospheric pressure
(sub-atmospheric)
What is a bypass? - answer--In cross-connection control, any pipe
arrangement that passes water around a protective device, casing it to
be ineffective
What is a carrier? - answer--A human or animal that carries disease
germs and can pass them to another person or animal without getting
the disease itself
What is the purpose of a check valve? - answer--To allow flow in only
one direction
, What is a cross connection? - answer--Any arrangement of pipes,
fittings, fixtures, or devices that connects a non-potable system to a
potable water system
What does DCVA stand for? - answer--Double Check Valve Assembly
What is a DCVA? - answer--A testable mechanical device consisting of
two independently operating, spring-loaded check valves
What is feed water? - answer--Water that is added to a commercial or
industrial system and is subsequently used by the system, such as water
that is fed to a boiler to produce steam
What is an incubation period for a disease? - answer--The time period
that elapses between the time a person is exposed to some disease and
the time that person shows the first sign or symptom of the disease
What is an overflow level? - answer--The maximum height that water or
liquid will rise in a receptacle before it flows over the rim
What is a potable water source? - answer--Water that is biologically,
chemically, and radiologically safe to drink
