A-382.41 (3) CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL HISTORY.
A-382.41 (5) (a) AIR-GAP. An air-gap for cross connection control for water supply systems conforming to ASME 112.1.2.
Section SPS 381.01 (7) reads: “`Air-gap, water supply system,' means the unobstructed vertical distance through the free atmosphere between the lowest opening from any pipe or faucet supplying water to a tank or plumbing fixture and the flood level rim or spill level of the receptacle.”
A pipe/spout that terminates with its outlet above the flood level rim of a receptacle/fixture:
1. Shall terminate a minimum of one inch above the flood level rim of the receptacle/fixture, or
2. Shall terminate a minimum distance of two times the diameter of the effective opening from the end of the pipe/spout to the flood level rim of the receptacle/fixture.
Note: In any case, regardless if the end of the pipe/spout is cut square or at an angle, the air-gap is the distance between the lowest end of the pipe/spout and the flood level rim of the receptacle/fixture.
The following water supply air-gap, although the least desirable, is acceptable to the ASME 112.1.2 standard. A pipe/spout that terminates with its outlet completely below the flood level rim of a receptacle/fixture:
1. Must have an opening in the receptacle/fixture that discharges to the atmosphere through an air-gap.
2. This air-gap must be located as close as possible to the receptacle/fixture.
3. The rate of discharge through this opening as compared to the rate of water entering the receptacle/fixture establishes a “spill level” that is the level at which water entering the receptacle/fixture seeks a balance and does not raise any higher. (A level is established where the flow of water entering equals the flow of water exiting.)
4. The distance then, between this established “spill level” and the end of the lowest water supply pipe/spout, is the air-gap.
5. The minimum air-gap (“Y”) is the distance between the supply pipe/spout and the “spill level” established in the receptacle/fixture.
6. The “spill level” shall be a distance no greater that one half of the distance measured as “Y,” (½
“Y”) above the discharge opening in the receptacle/fixture. Therefore, the air-gap between the supply pipe/spout and the highest portion of the opening that discharges to the atmosphere shall be a distance no greater than one and one half “Y” (1 ½ “Y”).
Note: In any case, regardless if the end of the pipe/spout is cut square or at an angle, the air-gap is the distance between the lowest end of the pipe/spout and the “spill level” of the receptacle/fixture.
The measurement for this air-gap, however, could be as much as 3 times the diameter of the pipe/spout depending upon the number of near walls. The distance of a near wall is a relationship to the diameter of the pipe/spout and the measurement from the wall to the closest side of the pipe/spout:
1. If there is one near wall, and the distance between that near wall and the closest edge of the supply pipe/spout is greater than 3 times the diameter of the supply pipe/spout, then the minimum air-gap is 2 times the diameter of the supply pipe/spout.
2. If there is one near wall, and the distance to the closest edge of the supply pipe/spout is less than 3 times the diameter of the pipe/spout, then the minimum air-gap is 3 times the diameter of the supply pipe/spout.
3. If there are 2 near walls, and the distance between the near wall(s) and closest edge of the supply pipe/spout is greater than 4 times the diameter of the supply pipe/spout, then the minimum air-gap is 2 times the diameter of the supply pipe/spout.
4. If there are 2 near walls, and the distance to the closest edge of the supply pipe/spout is less than 4 times the diameter of the supply pipe/spout, then the minimum air-gap is 3 times the diameter of the supply pipe/spout.
It has been determined that 2 or more near walls generally have little effect on the need to increase the air-gap to more than 3 times the diameter of the supply pipe/spout.
Note: See the following sketches as examples of an air-gap with pipe/spouts terminating above the flood level rim of the receptacle/fixture, of an air-gap with pipe/spouts terminating below the flood level rim of the receptacle/fixture and of an air-gap with pipe/spouts when terminating by one near wall.
