A disease caused by pathogenic bacterica (often
Salmonellosis
associated with chicken), which affects the intestinal
tract. The primary symptom is severe diarrhea.
A valve designed to open Check valve
in the direction of normal
flow and close with the
reversal of flow.
The maximum height that water or liquid will rise in a
Overflow level
receptacle before it flows over the rim.
A hydraulic condition, caused by a difference in
Backflow
pressures, in which non-potable water or other fluids
flow into a potable water system.
A shortened name for a reduced pressure backflow
RPBP
preventer
In plumbing, the unobstructed vertical distance through
the free atmosphere between the lowest opening from
Air Gap
any pipe or outlet supplying water to a tank, plumbing
fixture, or other container, and the overflow rim of that
container
Any arrangements of pipes, fittings, or devices that
potential cross connection
indirectly connects a potable water supply to a non-
potable source
A disease (sometime waterborne) caused by pathogenic
Dysentery
microorganisms and characterized by severe diarrhea
with passage of mucus and blood

A backflow condition in which the pressure in the
Backsiphonage
distribution system is less than atmospheric pressure
(subatmospheric)
Hose bib A faucet to which a hose may be attached
A human or animal that carries germs and can pass
Carrier
them to another person without getting the disease
himself.
Reduced pressure zone A mechanical device consisting of two independnetly
backflow preventer operating, spring-loaded check valves with a reduced
pressure zone between check valves.
Any water source or system, other than the potable
Auxiliary supply
water supply, that may be available in the building or
premesis.
Any arrangement of pipes, fittings, that connects a
Actual Cross Connection
potable water supply directly to a non-potable source
at all times.
An inflammation of the liver caused by a pathogenic
Hepatitis
virus. Symptoms are jaundice, general weakness,
nausea, and the presence of dark urine.
Water that is added to a commercial or industrial system
Feed water
and subsequently used by the system, such as water
that is fed to a boiler to produce steam.
A device designed to prevent backsiphonsge, consisting of one
Pressure vacuum breaker independently
operating spring-loaded check valve and an
independently operating spring-loaded air-inlet valve.
In cross-connection control, any pipe arrangement that
Bypass
passes water around a protective device, causing it to
be ineffective.
An intestinal disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms,
Gastroenteritis which involves
inflammation of the stomach and intestines. Symptoms
are diarrhea, pain, and nausea.
A backflow condition in which a pump, elevated tank,
Back pressure
boiler or other means results in a downstream pressure
greater than the supply pressure
