19、of the Member state of the EU or EFTA; b) it should be noted that, while awaiting the adoption of verifiable European criteria, existing national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of this product remain in force. EN 14622:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies th
20、e characteristics and the requirements of air gaps with circular overflow (restricted) family A, type F for nominal flow velocity not exceeding 3 m/s. Air gaps are devices for protection of potable water in water installations from pollution. This document applies to air gaps in factory assembled pr
21、oducts and to constructed air gaps in situ, and defines the physicochemical characteristics of materials of construction used for the purpose and application to ensure compliance with this document during normal working use. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable
22、 for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

23、ements of devices to prevent pollution by backflow. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions of EN 1717:2000 and the following apply. 3.1 air gap with circular overflow (restricted) family A, type F a permanent and vertical distance between the lo
24、west point of the feed orifice and the critical water level or the top of the overflow having a circular overflow capable of draining the maximum inflow of water under fault condition NOTE See Figure 1 for the design principle. Figure 1 Design principle 3.2 spillover level level at which water will
25、start to overflow the receiving vessel with all outlets closed EN 14622:2005 (E) 6 3.3 critical water level physical or piezometric level of liquid reached in any part of the appliance 2 s after closing the water inlet starting from the maximum level 3.4 dimension h height between the spillover leve
26、l and the critical level 3.5 maximum level highest water level H reached above the spillover level under positive pressure fault condition with all outlets closed 3.6 splashing (requirements for protection) when maintaining the maximum flow rate at the maximum level if a contact is observed between
27、the upstream component and the liquid in the receiving vessel due to splashing, foaming or turbulence, the air gap shall be increased to a point where no contact is observed 3.7 diameter of feed pipe (Bore D) diameter D is the maximum internal diameter within the last metre of the supply device and
28、the connecting pipework or the DN of the inlet connection 4 Designation An air gap with circular overflow (restricted) family A, type F is designated by: name; reference to this European Standard; denomination (see 3.7 DN or D); family and type;.

The materials used in water i
30、nstallations, including the materials of protection units in contact with drinking water, shall satisfy the European standards and national acceptance criteria and/or national restrictions for use currently in force in EU and EFTA. They shall be compatible with each other, with the water supplied an
31、d with the fluids or substances that can come into contact with them. There are no special requirements concerning the materials downstream of the atmospheric outlet opening provided they do not have any harmful effect on the upstream part. 7 Requirements 7.1 General The protection assembly comprise
32、s four parts: water inlet device; receiving vessel (container); overflow; air break to drain. 7.2 Water inlet device Every feed pipe, float-operated valve or other device which controls the inflow of water to a receiving vessel shall be securely and rigidly fixed to maintain the air gap. Every feed
33、pipe supplying water to such a valve assembly or other device shall be fixed in its position to prevent it from moving or buckling. The feed pipe, the inlet device and the outlet of the inlet device shall not come into contact in any way with a product from downstream, they shall always be above lev
34、el H (see Figure 3). Submerged supply pipes to the inlet device are not permitted.

35、 Maximum level Figure 3 Air gap with circular overflow (restricted) family A, type F 7.3 Overflow arrangements The area of the minimum cross section of the overflow pipe throughout its length shall be equal to four times the inlet pipes (D) cross sectional area. All circular overflow arrangements sh
36、all ensure an air break prior to any connection to a drainage system. An air break to drain shall be provided see EN 1717, Clause 9. 7.4 Air gap distance 7.4.1 Single supply For air gaps family A, type F the critical water level (h) shall be established and the air gap distance A measured from the l
37、owest point of the water inlet to the critical water level (see Figure 3). The air gap distance A shall be 2 D and never less than 20 mm and can be determined by one of the following methods: EN 14622:2005 (E) 9 a) h is determined by test measurement of the depth of water above the spillover level o
38、f the overflow 2 s after the inflow equal to Q = 0,14 D2in l/min has stopped or a dynamic pressure of 1 MPa (10 bar) has stopped if the flow rate Q cannot be achieved. Where D is the inlet bore (see 3.7) and with all outlets (except the overflow) closed, based on a velocity of 3 m/s, or the maximum
39、recommended flow rate for manufactured appliances when the flow rate is higher than Q; b) by measurement of the air gap distance A from the lowest point of the water inlet device and the uppermost point of the overflow outlet bore. 7.4.2 Multiple supplies In the case of multiple feed pipes to a sing
40、le vessel having a circular unrestricted overflow, the distance of the air gaps for the potable water supply shall be dimension A above the critical water level. The critical water level (3.3) shall be determined with all feed pipes discharging at an individual inflow calculated at Q = 0,14 D2. If t
41、he flow rate Q cannot be achieved, apply dynamic pressure of 1 MPa (10 bar) on all inlets. No feed orifice shall be less than distance A above the critical water level. After calculations the distance A shall not be less than 20 mm. For calculating air gap distance A use =22 DA 7.4.3 Backflow/back p
42、ressure If the receiving vessel can be subject to positive pressure backflow, it is important that the inlet orifice is positioned so that it cannot be contaminated by the ascending/returning backflow fluid. When the air gap is part of an installation which can generate positive pressure backflow it
43、 is essential that a means of limiting the flow rate to a rate which will not compromise the overflow arrangement is incorporated, i.e. non-return valve fitted upstream of the pressurisation unit. Potable water inlets shall terminate at a higher level than non-potable inlets and never closer than 2
44、D measured horizontally and vertically downward. 7.5 Verification 7.5.1 General Verification can be achieved by test or by measurement. 7.5.2 Procedure for verification by test See 7.4.1 and 7.4.2. a) Sequence of test close all outlets (except the overflow); identify D; calculate Q; apply flow rate
45、Q and maintain maximum water level; note contact with inlet device(s) during filling and at the maximum level; stop flow rate Q; after 2 s establish distance h; measure air gap between distance h and lowest point of the feed orifice. b) Requirements: EN 14622:2005 (E) 10 no contact between the downs
46、tream fluid and the inlet device(s); the air gap A shall be 2 D and never less than 20 mm. 7.5.3 Procedure for verification by measurement (single supply only) a) Sequence of measurement see 7.4.1 (b). b) Requirements the measured air gap shall meet the requirements of dimension A (see 7.4.1). 8 Mar
47、king (not required for site constructed products) Each appliance incorporating an air gap with circular overflow (restricted) family A, type F shall be clearly and permanently marked and accessibly visible. Marking shall indicate: a) manufacturers brand or logo; b) letter indicating family and type
48、of air gap; c) denomination (DN or D); d) reference to this European Standard.
