The third edition of the Backflow Prevention Reference Manual continues to build on the important collaboration between the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry and International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials Backflow Prevention Institute.
This full color, illustrated reference manual is designed to teach every aspect of backflow prevention and cross-connection control, from identifying and testing the wide variety of backflow prevention assemblies to proper selection and installation of both testable assemblies and non-testable backflow prevention devices. This manual provides instruction on how to recognize degrees of hazard or potential risks to potable water systems, and whether the proper backflow prevention method, device or assembly has been correctly installed. The manual covers the history of backflow prevention; definitions and devices; backflow prevention hydraulics; testing methods with full, detailed illustrations; an overview of gauges and test kits; trouble shooting guide; cross-connection control surveys; program development; code requirements and installation standards. The manual is used as the textbook for many training classes to help prepare an individual to become a certified backflow prevention tester, surveyor or repairer. The unique, 300-page Backflow Prevention Reference Manual contains illustrations in real-world field settings and can be used by regulatory agencies as a guide to determine what type of valve can be used in a particular case. With information on the history of backflow prevention as well as chapters written from the regulatory perspective, Backflow Prevention Reference Manual is an important resource for system designers, urban planners, and utility companies-professionals “on both sides of the water meter”. This text, originally published in 2006, updated in 2011, and now again in 2016 has become the most used reference manual in the training and certification of backflow assembly testers, repairers, surveyors, and others working in all phases of the cross-connection control industry.
