5、 Freeze Resistant Sanitary Yard Hydrants with Backflow ProtectionASSE 1057-2012Freeze Resistant Sanitary Yard Hydrants with Backflow Protection iiiASSE 1057-2012ForewordThis foreword is not considered a part of the standard. However, it is offered to provide background information.It is currently re

6、cognized that the common garden or utility hose, when connected to a potable water supply by means of a hose threaded outlet, constitutes a potential cross-connection. It is also currently recognized that the same cross-connection may exist when a potable water supply is permitted to drain undergrou

7、nd.With specific reference to Freeze Resistant Sanitary Yard Hydrants, this standard has been developed to protect the potable water supply from backflow contamination and ground water contamination.It has been recognized that five types of yard hydrants need to be considered to protect against free

8、zing. The types considered are: Type 1, which provides protection with two check valves and an atmospheric vent and does not require removal of the hose to provide freeze protection; Type 2, which provides protection with two check valves and an atmospheric vent and requires removal of the hose to p

9、rovide freeze protection; Type 3, which provides protection with one check valve and an atmospheric vent and does not require removal of the hose to provide freeze protection; Type 4, which provides protection with one check valve and an atmospheric vent and requires removal of the hose to provide f

10、reeze protection; and Type 5, which has an air gap or removable backflow protection device and requires removal of the backflow protection device and hose to provide freeze protection.Although many of the material specifications are detailed within Section 4.1 of this standard, it is the responsibil

11、ity of the manufacturer and installer to comply with the relevant jurisdictional requirements.The working group, which developed this standard revision, was set up within the framework of the Product Standards Committee of the American Society of Sanitary Engineering.Recognition is made of the time

12、volunteered by members of this working group and of the support of the manufacturers who also participated in the meetings for this standard.The standard does not imply ASSEs endorsement of a product which conforms to these requirements.Compliance with this standard does not imply acceptance by any

13、code body.iv Freeze Resistant Sanitary Yard Hydrants with Backflow ProtectionASSE 1057-2012It is recommended that these devices be installed consistent with local codes by qualified and trained professionals.This standard was promulgated in accordance with procedures developed by the American Nation

14、al Standards Institute (ANSI).This edition was approved by the ASSE Board of Directors on July 2, 2012 as an ASSE standard.Freeze Resistant Sanitary Yard Hydrants with Backflow Protection vASSE 1057-2012Joseph Fugelo, ChairmanLabov Co.Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaRand AckroydRand Technical Consulting,

24、i (689.5 kPa) or the manufacturers maximum rated working pressure, whichever is greater, and the inlet pressure suddenly drops to 0.0 psi (0.0 kPa).3.11.2 ProcedureInstall the device as shown in Figure 5. Open Valve #1 and Valve #2 and flow water through the device to purge it of air. Close Valve #2

25、 and raise the pressure to 100.0 psi (689.5 kPa) or the manufacturers maximum rated working pressure, whichever is greater. Close Valve #1. Open the quick acting valve to drop the pressure at the inlet of the device to atmospheric pressure. The pressure in the intermediate chamber shall be dissipate
