Recommendation: Install backflow prevention devices in the correct orientation specified by the manufacturer. Ensure the cross-connection control program includes at a minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method or device for each, so there is a match to the plumbing system component and location. Include air gaps on the listing. Ensure a schedule for inspection frequency is set. Maintain a log documenting the inspection and maintenance in written or electronic form, and ensure it is available for review during inspections.
Item No.: 10

Recommendation: Ensure the testing of manufactured drain covers is by a nationally or internationally recognized testing laboratory. Ensure the following information is stamped on each manufactured antientrapment drain cover: (1) certification standard and year; (2) type of drain use (single or multiple); (3) maximum flow rate (in gallons or liters per minute); (4) type of fitting (suction outlet); (5) life expectancy of cover; (6) mounting orientation (wall, floor, or both); (7) manufacturer?s name or trademark; and (8) model designation. Ensure the design of custom/shipyard constructed (field fabricated) drain covers and suction fittings is fully specified by a registered design professional in accordance with ASME A112.19.8-2007. Ensure the specifications fully address cover/grate loadings, durability, hair, finger and limb entrapment issues, cover/grate secondary layer of protection, related sump design, and features specific to the RWF. Provide a letter from the shipyard for each custom/shipyard constructed (field fabricated) drain cover fitting. At a minimum, ensure the letter specifies the shipyard, name of the vessel, specifications and dimensions of the drain cover, as well as the exact location of the RWF for which it was designed. Ensure the name of and contact information for the registered design professional and signature are on the letter.
