§ 235-19. Residential dual check.  


Latest version.
  • A. 
    Effective the date of the acceptance of this cross-connection control program for the Town of Federalsburg, all new residential buildings will be required to install a residential dual check device immediately downstream of the water meter. Installation of this residential dual check device on a retrofit basis on existing service lines will be instituted as time and cost permit. This retrofit shall be completed by the Town.
    B. 
    The owner must be aware that installation of a residential dual check valve results in a potential closed plumbing system within his residence. As such, provisions may have to be made by the owner to provide for thermal expansion within his closed loop system, i.e., the installation of thermal expansion devices and/or pressure relief valves.
