normally used in locations where an air gap is impractical. An RP is effective against both
back siphonage and back pressure.
b. RPs shall be sized to provide an adequate supply of water and pressure for the
premises being served. Since flow characteristics are not standard, installers shall consult
manufacturer's specifications for specific performance data.
c. Premises where interruption of water supply is critical shall be provided with two
assemblies installed in parallel. They shall be sized in such a manner that either assembly
will provide the minimum water requirements while the two together will provide the
maximum flow required.
d. Bypass lines are prohibited. Pipe fittings which could be used for connecting a
bypass line shall not be installed.
e. RP(shall be insOlled as follows:
CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL POLICY ORDINANCE PAGE
The assembly shall be readily accessible for testing and maintenance and
shall be located in an area where water damage to buildings or furnishings
will not occur from relief valve discharge. An approved air gap funnel
assembly may be used to direct minor discharges away from the assembly;
this assembly shall not control flow in a continuous relief situation. Drain
lines to accommodate full relief valve discharge flow should be considered.
(2)
RPs are typically installed above grade in well drained areas, but may be
installed below grade if an adequate drain to daylight is provided.
(3)
Enclosures shall be designed for ready access and sized to allow for the
minimum clearances established below. Removable protective enclosures
are typically installed on the smaller assemblies. Daylight drain ports shall
be provided to accommodate full pressure discharge from assembly.
(4)
All assemblies larger than two (2) inches shall have a minimum of twelve
(12) inches on the backside, twenty-four (24) inches on the test cock side,
and the relief valve opening shall be at least twelve (12) inches plus nominal
size of assembly above the floor or highest possible water level. Headroom
of six (6) feet is required in vaults without a fully removable top. A
minimum access opening of twenty-four (24) inches square is required on
all vault lids. See Standard Detail Sheets 3 and 4.
(5)
Assemblies installed more than five (5) feet above floor level must have a
suitable platform for use by testing or maintenance personnel.
f. The assembly must be protected from freezing and other severe weather conditions.
g. Vertical installation is prohibited.
h. Lines shall be thoroughly flushed prior to installation. A strainer with blowout
tapping may be required ahead of the assembly.
i. The property owner assumes all responsibility for leaks and damage. The owner
shall ensure that the vault is kept reasonably free of silt and debris.
j. All RPs shall be tested in accordance with this Ordinance. Any premise that has
RPs that are pomi-of-use protection without high hazard premise isolation protection shall
be tested every six months. Any premise- that has RPs as premise isolation without high
hazard point-of-use protection assembly shall be tested every six_months. The owner is
responsible for the initial test upon installation or repair and the City is responsible for all
subsequent tests. The owner shall notify the Director upon installation of any backflow
prevention assembly.
k. Variances from these specifications will be evaluatc~d on a case-by-/case b as is.
Any deviations shall be prohibited without the Director's prior written approval.
C['--.~SS CONNECTION CONTROL POLICY ORDINANCE PAGE 18
21. Double Check Valve Backflow Prevention Assembly ("DC").
a. DCs may be utilized at premises where a substance is handled that would be
objectionable but not hazardous to health if introduced into the potable water system.
b. DCs shall be sized to provide an adequate supply of water and pressure for the
premises being served. Since flow characteristics are not standard, installers shall consult
manufacturer's specifications for specific performance data.
c. Premises where interruption of water supply is critical shall be provided with two
assemblies installed in parallel. They shall be sized in such a manner that either assembly
will provide the minimum water requirements while the two together will provide the
maximum flow required.
