5、 the standard; however, it is offered to provide background information.ASSE International standards are developed in the interest of consumer safety.Water distribution systems are equipped with air valves and air vents at multiple locations to release and admit air into pipelines and reservoirs to

6、allow filling and draining, control surges, and maintain flow efficiency. If the valve or reservoir outlets become flooded or are the target of malicious tampering, the air entry point may be compromised and allow the entry of floodwater, or the intentional introduction of a contaminant to the water

7、 system. The air valve and vent inflow preventer is directly connected to air valve outlets and reservoir vent pipes. This assembly is normally open to allow unrestricted airflow in and out of pipelines and reservoirs during normal conditions. When a flood occurs, a float-operated closure member aut

8、omatically closes to prevent the entry of contaminated fluids. A redundant, float-operated closure member automatically closes if the first one fails. The assembly is mounted in, or near, air valve vaults or reservoir vents. Air valves are sometimes required to relieve a vacuum in a pipeline system

9、to protect the appurtenant equipment. During flooded conditions, the inflow preventer will be closed and will not provide vacuum protection. Similarly, a submerged air valve without an inflow preventer will also not provide vacuum protection. If vacuum protection is required to protect the associate

10、d pipe from collapse, a pipe riser with a screened outlet that extends above the maximum expected flood level should be considered.Recognition is made of the time volunteered by members of this working group and of the support of manufacturers, who also participated in meetings for this standard.Thi

11、s standard does not imply ASSE Internationals endorsement of a product that conforms to these requirements. Compliance with this standard does not imply acceptance by any code body.This standard was promulgated in accordance with procedures developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANS
