ANSWERS | LATEST UPDATE 2024/2025 100%
(GRADE A+)
Salmonellosis
Ans>> A disease caused by pathogenic bacterica (often associated with chicken), which affects
the intestinal tract. The primary symptom is severe diarrhea.
A valve designed to open in the direction of normal flow and close with the reversal of flow.
Ans>> Check valve
Overflow level
Ans>> The maximum height that water or liquid will rise in a receptacle before it flows over the
rim.
Backflow
Ans>> A hydraulic condition, caused by a difference in pressures, in which non-potable water or
other fluids flow into a potable water system.
1
,RPBP
Ans>> A shortened name for a reduced pressure backflow preventer
Air Gap
Ans>> 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
Ans>> Any arrangements of pipes, fittings, or devices that indirectly connects a potable water
supply to a non-potable source
Dysentery
Ans>> A disease (sometime waterborne) caused by pathogenic microorganisms and
characterized by severe diarrhea with passage of mucus and blood
Backsiphonage
2
,Ans>> A backflow condition in which the pressure in the distribution system is less than
atmospheric pressure (subatmospheric)
Hose bib
Ans>> A faucet to which a hose may be attached
Carrier
Ans>> A human or animal that carries germs and can pass them to another person without
getting the disease himself.
Reduced pressure zone backflow preventer
Ans>> A mechanical device consisting of two independnetly operating, spring-loaded check
valves with a reduced pressure zone between check valves.
Auxiliary supply
Ans>> Any water source or system, other than the potable water supply, that may be available
in the building or premesis.
3
, Actual Cross Connection
Ans>> Any arrangement of pipes, fittings, that connects a potable water supply directly to a
non-potable source at all times.
Hepatitis
Ans>> An inflammation of the liver caused by a pathogenic virus. Symptoms are jaundice,
general weakness, nausea, and the presence of dark urine.
Feed water
Ans>> 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
Ans>> A device designed to prevent backsiphonsge, consisting of one independently operating
spring-loaded check valve and an independently operating spring-loaded air-inlet valve.
