On Y2" through 2" (15-20mm) units, the <br />handles of shutoff valves can be removed to discourage tampering. On <br />2Y2" through 10" (65-250mm) units, a chain can be looped through both <br />shutoff valve handwheels and locked in position to prevent tampering. <br />Testcock handles can also be removed. On backflow prevention assem- <br />blies installed in conjunction with fire sprinkler systems, a tamper switch <br />can be placed on the OS&Y shutoff valves that will trigger an alarm if an <br />unauthorized closure should occur. <br />A protective enclosure can be installed over the unit to discouragevan- <br />dals. If an enclosure is used, it should be installed so that adequate clear- <br />ance is available for maintenance and testing. Consult local codes before <br />installing any type of protective enclosure. <br />Testing <br />All mechanical devices should be inspected on a regular basis to ensure <br />they are working correctly. The assembly should be tested at time of ini- <br />tial installation, after servicing or maintenance, and at least annually there- <br />after Acceptable test procedures are published by Foundation for Cross - <br />Connection Control and Hydraulic Research at the University of Southern <br />California (USC),The American Water Works Association (AWWA),The <br />American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE Series 5000) and the <br />Canadian Standards Association (CAN/CSAB64.HO).
