Chapter 1 covers basic backflow hydraulics, Chapter 2 covers the different types of cross-connections, and the degree of hazard. Chapter 3 describes in detail how to apply protection and to prevent backflow using airgaps and backflow prevention devices. Chapter 3 will also explain how the devices work and will cover proper installation guidelines. Chapter 4 will cover the safety, gauge care, repair and maintenance considerations, etc. A hands-on testing work shop, held each afternoon, will allow students to practice test procedures on the reduced pressure principal assembly, double check valve assembly, and pressure vacuum breaker . Test benches with working backflow preventers and differential pressure gauges will be used. ASSE test procedures will be reviewed and will be taught in the classroom and then put into practice in the Wet Lab. A written exam will be given at the conclusion of the course to evaluate the students. Students must also demonstrate proficiency in testing assemblies covered in the course.   Course Level:Intermediate Course Content:* Introduction * Backflow Incidence Discussion * Working Together for Safe Water Film * Hydraulics and Backflow * Types of Backflow and Cross-Connections * The Operation of the Reduced Pressure Principal Assembly * Watch video on testing the RP * Field Test Procedures- Reduced Pressure Principal Assembly (RP) * Guided Testing and Lecture * Diagnostics * Practice testing RP in small groups and individually * RP Diagnostics and Review * Air Gaps * Degree of Hazard * The Operation of the Double Check Valve Assembly * Field Test Procedures for the Double Check Valve Assembly * Lecture and guided testing * Diagnostics * Practice testing the DC & RP in small groups and individually * DC and RP Diagnostics and Review * Isolation Protection vs. Containment Protection/Plumbing Codes * Vacuum Breakers PVB, SVB, and AVB Operation and App. * Field Test Procedures- Pressure Vacuum Breaker Assembly * Lecture and guided testing * PVB Troubleshooting * Small group and individual practice exercises- DCVA, RP, and PVB * Pressure Vacuum Breaker Assembly Troubleshooting and Review * Safety * Repair and Maintenance * Total Workbook Review * Small group and individual practice exercises on all assemblies also practice performance tests * Quick Review * Written Exam * Practical Exam- Begins after the written exam.   Target Industry:Drinking Water and Wastewater Target Audience:plumbers, sprinkler fitters, and other related mechanical contractors.   Training Format:Classroom Type of Media: Printed Materials     * Emphasis of this class is many hours of hands-on practice on live devices.   Contact Hours: 32 Contact Hours
