Q

How many litres are in a imperial gallon?

A

4.54 liters per imp gallon

17
Q

For what application would you use a dual check with atmospheric port (DCAP)?

A

When the hazard is minor and protects against both back pressure and back siphonage

18
Q

Where would you normally use or find a dual check valve backflow preventer (DuC)?

A

Used when the hazard is minor in a residential application

19
Q

Where would you find a hose connection vacuum breaker (HCVB)?

A

Where the hazard is minor and effectively protects against backflow caused by back siphonage

20
Q

Where would you use an atmospheric vaccum breaker (AVB) and what is its function?

A

This device is to protect from back siphonage only and is not designed for continuous usage. AVB’s will be installed on hose outlets, washing equipment and a wide range of kitchen equipment

21
Q

What is the maximum allowable operating time on an atmospheric vacuum breaker?

A

12 hours

22
Q

Where is critical level on an atmospheric vacuum breaker?

A

Lowest point (bottom)

23
Q

Where would you use a pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) and what is its function?

A
  • Pressure vacuum breakers are used when a hazard is minor and moderate.
  • If a problem occures, discharge flow will be visible and you will hear the sound of air rushing
  • the code states that pressure vacuum breakers will be installed a minimum of 12 inches above the flood level rim or highest point open to atmosphere
  • most commonly found on sprinkler systems
24
Q

Where would you find a double check valve assembly (DCVA)?

A
  • Used when the hazard is minor or moderate. If a problem occurs, no discharge flow will be visible
  • found on heating equipment, steam generators or irrigation systems
  • four test cocks make it possible to test a DCVA
25
Q

How do you size an air gap?

A

Minimum 25mm (1”) or 2 pipe diameters

26
Q

When extracting tees from type K or L copper tubing, the joint is to be brazed with a filler metal thay has a melting point of what?

A

At least 540°C

27
Q

How far should a lead closet stub be below the floor flange?

A

75mm (3”)

28
Q

What type of copper tube shall not be bent?

A

DWV and M type

29
Q

What 2 applications would you use a wiped joint for?

A

Sheet lead and lead pipe or between copper and ferules

30
Q

What material must not be used for the fixture drain or the portion of the vent pipe below the flood level rim of manually flushing or waterless urinals?

A

Copper tube

31
Q

What fixture must be installed in all food preparation areas?

A

Hand wash lav w/o overflow arrangement
