Summary of Cross Connection and Backflow Prevention Devices Air Gap A physical separation between the free flowing discharge end of a potable water supply pipeline and an open or non-pressure receiving vessel. An approved air gap shall be at least double the diameter of the supply pipe measured vertically above the overflow rim of the vessel - in no case less than 1 inch. Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB) An assembly containing an air inlet valve, a check seat, and an air inlet port(s). An AVB cannot be under constant pressure; therefore, it must be installed downstream of any valves. Also, the AVB must be installed at least 6 inches above the highest point in any downstream piping. This eliminates the possibility of backpressure caused by the weight of the water. Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) An assembly containing an independently-operating, internally-loaded check valve (CV) and an independently-operating, loaded air inlet valve located on the discharge side of the CV. The assembly is equipped with properly-located, resiliently-seated test cocks and tightly-closing, resiliently-seated shutoff valves (SOVs) attached at each end of the assembly. DC An assembly composed of two independently-acting, approved CVs, including tightly-closing, resiliently-seated SOVs attached at each end of the assembly and fitted with properly-located, resiliently-seated test cocks. RP An assembly containing two independently-acting, approved CVs together with a hydraulically-operating, mechanically-independent pressure differential relief valve located between the CVs and at the same time below the first CV. The unit shall include properly-located, resiliently-seated test cocks and tightly-closing, resiliently-seated SOVs at each end of the assembly. Dual Check Valve (DuC) With Atmospheric Vent An assembly containing a double check valve having an atmospheric vent located between the two checks. Line pressure keeps the vent closed; however, back-siphonage will open the inner chamber to the atmosphere. A DuC is not testable while the valve is installed. Notes: 1.
