Selected Item Details
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Cross-connection Control Program
Violation: The cross-connection control program listed an 8BC as a backflow prevention device for the steam room. An inspection of the steam room showed that a Watts 9D was installed on the potable water line supplying the steam generator.
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-Steam Generator Room
Violation: The backflow prevention device on the potable water line supplying the steam generator was leaking. This was corrected.
Recommendation:Ensure that backflow preventers are maintained in good repair.
Site: Whirlpool/Spa-Mechanical Room
Violation: The potable water lines supplying the jacuzzis were not striped or painted blue.
Recommendation:Ensure that potable water piping and fittings are painted or stripped auxiliary blue, or in accordance with ISO 14726, at 5 m (15 feet) intervals on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads in all spaces, except where the decor would be marred by such markings.
Site: Medical-Sluice Room
Violation: A backflow prevention device was not visible on the potable water line supplying the bed pan wash.
Recommendation:Ensure that backflow preventers are located so they may be inspected, serviced, and maintained.
