Plumbing system not approved or fixtures not cleanable
(corrected on site)
Inspector notes: A chemical dispenser was connected to the mop sink faucet below the air vacuum breaker via a wasting-tee device. A PLUMBING SYSTEM shall be designed, constructed, and installed according to LAW. Installing a “side-kick”, similar downstream shut-off device, or obstruction places back pressure on the AVB. Since the atmospheric vacuum breakers could be kept on under constant pressure at all times, they will fail under such installations. Chemical dispensers that are connected to a faucet with a pressure bleeding device on the faucet outlet, this includes devices referred to as a wasting tee, flow-through device, or otherwise known as a “sidekick” device are considered obstructions and are not approved by the Department, as they are prone to fouling/plugging failure under typical water and operating conditions found within Maricopa County. There is now a potential cross-connection hazard. The device was disconnected from the faucet as a temporary correction. Advised the person in charge (PIC) that the dispenser may not be connected to the faucet with or without the wasting-tee except when actively being used. The Department document regarding approved connections at mop sink faucets was provided via email to the address provided by the PIC
