« back to classes page
This course is designed to teach the student the theory behind backflow preventer design and operation and proficiency in testing backflow prevention assemblies, including "troubleshooting" and diagnosis of problems. Its primary purpose is to prepare the student to take the American Water Works Association, California/Nevada Section, written and practical exams, the American Backflow Prevention Association (ABPA) written and practical exams and various county certification exams. Definitions, the laws governing testers, types of backflow prevention assemblies and their application, degree of hazard, hydraulics and installation requirements will be covered.
This course falls under the Communication, Critical Thinking, Information and Technology Literacy, and Personal, Social, Civic, and Environmental Responsibility Institutional Level Outcomes (ILOs).
Upon the successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Understand the sections of the California Administrative Code and State Plumbing Code and local ordinances or local operating rules which apply to the annual testing of backflow prevention devices.
Demonstrate the ability to correctly field test the Reduced Pressure Backflow Preventer, Double Check Valve Assembly, Pressure Vacuum Breaker and the Spill Resistant Pressure Vacuum Breaker in order to obtain required certifications from local water utilities, local county health departments and certification agencies such as the California Section of the American Water Works Association or the American Backflow Prevention Association. Student will also be able to identify the proper installation of Air Gaps.
Demonstrate the ability to correctly diagnose problems with the backflow preventers during the annual test and be able to state the correct repair procedure for the backflow preventer.
Identify and compare the degree of hazard of cross-connections in order to determine the appropriate backflow prevention device to be installed in order to protect public health.
