Selected Item Details
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Cross-Connection Control Program
Violation: The cross-connection control program listed the crew and passenger toilets and showers by fire zone. It did not indicate how many toilets and showers of each type were in each fire zone.
Recommendation:Ensure that the cross-connection control program includes at minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method/device for each, so that there is a match to the plumbing system component and location, and an inspection frequency. Ensure that air-gaps are included in the listing.
Site: Potable Water-Bunker Stations
Violation: A few of the screw caps for the potable water filling lines were not connected by a non-corroding chain.
Recommendation:Ensure that the potable water filling line has a screw cap or plug fastened by a non-corroding chain to an adjacent bulkhead or surface in such a manner that the cap or plug does not touch the deck when hanging free. The connections for the hose attachments shall be unique and fit only potable water hoses.
Site: Potable Water-Cross-Connection Control Program
Violation: The potable water connections for all showers were listed as being protected by Watts 8S devices. The devices were not Watts manufactured. The devices were non-continuous pressure that adequately protected the connections.
Recommendation:Update the cross-connection control plan with the correct type of device.
Site: Potable Water-Cross-Connection Control Program
Violation: The cross-connection control program listed the potable water connections for the crew and passenger toilets as being protected by EVAC devices. This is not a manufacturer of devices and does not tell the function of the device. The devices were non-continuous pressure that adequately protected the connections.
Recommendation:Update the cross-connection control program to include devices stalled for the toilets.
