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?

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
How do you size an air gap?
Minimum 25mm (1”) or 2 pipe diameters
26
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?
At least 540°C
27
How far should a lead closet stub be below the floor flange?
75mm (3”)
28
What type of copper tube shall not be bent?
DWV and M type
29
What 2 applications would you use a wiped joint for?
Sheet lead and lead pipe or between copper and ferules
30
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?
Copper tube
31
What fixture must be installed in all food preparation areas?
Hand wash lav w/o overflow arrangement
