Air Gap - ANSWER 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 - ANSWER Any arrangements of pipes,
fittings, or devices that indirectly connects a potable water supply to
a non-potable source
Dysentery - ANSWER A disease (sometime waterborne) caused by
pathogenic microorganisms and characterized by severe diarrhea
with passage of mucus and blood
Backsiphonage - ANSWER A backflow condition in which the
pressure in the distribution system is less than atmospheric pressure

Hose bib - ANSWER A faucet to which a hose may be attached
Carrier - ANSWER A human or animal that carries germs and can
pass them to another person without getting the disease himself.
Reduced pressure zone backflow preventer - ANSWER A
mechanical device consisting of two independnetly operating,
spring-loaded check valves with a reduced pressure zone between
check valves.
Auxiliary supply - ANSWER Any water source or system, other
than the potable water supply, that may be available in the building or
premesis.
Actual Cross Connection - ANSWER Any arrangement of pipes,
fittings, that connects a potable water supply directly to a
non-potable source at all times.
Hepatitis - ANSWER An inflammation of the liver caused by a
pathogenic virus. Symptoms are jaundice, general weakness,
nausea, and the presence of dark urine.
Feed water - ANSWER 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 - ANSWER A device designed to
prevent backsiphonsge, consisting of one independently operating

spring-loaded air-inlet valve.
Bypass - ANSWER In cross-connection control, any pipe
arrangement that passes water around a protective device, causing
it to be ineffective.
Gastroenteritis - ANSWER An intestinal disease caused by
pathogenic microorganisms, which involves inflammation of the
stomach and intestines. Symptoms are diarrhea, pain, and nausea.
Back pressure - ANSWER 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 - 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 of symptom of the disease.
Cross connection - ANSWER Any arrangement of pipes, fitting,
fixtures, or devices that connects a non potable system to a potable
water system
Atmospheric vacuum breaker - ANSWER A mechanical device
consisting of a float check valve and an air inlet port designed to
prevent backsiphonage
Double Check Valve Assembly - ANSWER A testable mechanical
device consiting of two independently operating, spring-loaded
check valves
Potable - ANSWER Water that is safe for human consumption
Backflow - ANSWER The reversal of the normal direction of flow
Backpressure - ANSWER An elevation of pressure in the
downstream piping system above the supply pressure
Backsiphonage - ANSWER Reduction in system pressure which
causes a sub atmospheric pressure to exist at a site in the water
system
