About this file

This document is a Minimum Salient Characteristics specification for backflow-prevention assemblies required by Marine Corps Air Station's Installation, Logistics and Environmental Department to comply with Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) cross-connection-control and backflow-prevention requirements under Arizona Administrative Code R18-4-215.

The contractor shall provide backflow-prevention assemblies meeting four primary requirements: (1) regulatory compliance with ADEQ standards; (2) appropriate protection levels based on hazard assessment, including Reduced Pressure Principle (RP) assemblies for actual or potential health hazards involving chemical, biological-process-water, or contamination hazards; Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) assemblies for irrigation systems without backpressure or chemical injection; and Double Check Valve (DC) assemblies where hazard levels permit; (3) sizing and connections matching existing piping and system flow requirements with specific approved models listed by pipe diameter ranging from ½" to 6", including products from manufacturers Zurn-Wilkins, Apollo, FEBCO, and Watts with designated dimensional types; and (4) corrosion-resistant materials suitable for outdoor installation and potable-water service, with all components contacting potable water meeting applicable safe-drinking-water material requirements. The document provides a comprehensive list of 17 approved assembly configurations with corresponding dimension types referenced in attachments.

Minimum Salient Characteristics — Backflow-Prevention Assemblies

Marine Corps Air Station, Installation, Logistics and Environmental Department has a requirement to replace Backflow Preventers to comply with Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) cross-connection-control and backflow-prevention requirements under Arizona Administrative Code R18-4-215.

The contractor shall provide backflow-prevention assemblies that meet the following minimum salient characteristics:

1. Regulatory Compliance: Assemblies shall comply with applicable Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) cross-connection-control and backflow-prevention requirements under Arizona Administrative Code R18-4-215.

2. Required Protection Level: The assembly type shall provide the level of protection required for the identified cross-connection hazard and installation location:

• Reduced Pressure Principle (RP) Assembly: Required where the downstream system presents an actual or potential health hazard, including chemical, biological-process-water, or other contamination hazards.

• Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) Assembly: Permitted only for irrigation systems that cannot create backpressure and do not use chemical injection or chemigation.

• Double Check Valve (DC) Assembly: Permitted only where the assessed hazard level and applicable water-system requirements allow its use.

3. Size and Connections: Assemblies shall be sized to match the existing piping and system flow requirements: [insert pipe diameter, connection type, flow rate, and pressure rating]. The assembly shall be compatible with the existing potable-water distribution system without requiring unplanned adapters or modifications:

• ½” 375XLRP Zurn-Wilkins, Dimensions Type “A” – see attachment

• ¾” 375XLRP Zurn-Wilkins, Dimensions Type “A” – see attachment

• 1” 375XLRP Zurn-Wilkins, Dimensions Type “A” – see attachment
