Five Products Used for Protection from Cross Connections

• Air Gap
• Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker
• Pressure Vacuum Breaker
• Double Check Valve Assembly
• Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly

Backflow Can Occur Two Ways:

• Negative pressure causes a 'back-siphon.' Negative pressure creates a partial vacuum in a sealed tube or distribution system that can siphon liquid into a potable water system. Remember, liquids will flow toward the point of lowest pressure.
• Superior pressure causes back pressure back flow.
• Superior pressure can be caused by a pump, boiler System, or elevated storage tank located in a non-potable system.

Breaks in a water main or fire hydrant use are two examples that may cause a system to backflow. These are situations that can happen without notice and therefore require continuous prevention.

Prevention is Maintained Through:

• Careful considerations of water supply connections.
• A system of valves set up for protection. (the type of valve is determined by the hazard it protects).
• Regular inspection/testing of backflow prevention valves.
