Cross connection present or not corrected (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: Observed wasting tee (flow-through device aka “sidekick”) attached to chemical dispenser and connected to mop sink faucet downstream of the atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB) under pressure. 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. Sidekick was disconnected at time of inspection. Discontinue use of chemical dispenser until separate water supply can be provided to the dispenser. Provided Chemical Dispenser and Y-Valve guidance document
