Each plumbing fixture trap, except as otherwise provided in this Code, shall be protected against __________
- A.
Siphonage and back-pressure.
- B.
Siphonage and backflow.
- C.
Backflow and crossconnection
- D.
None of these.
Correct Answer
A. SipHonage and back-pressure.Explanation
The correct answer is "siphonage and back-pressure."

Each plumbing fixture trap, except as otherwise provided in this Code, shall be protected against ___________ and ___________.
- A.
Siphonage
- B.
Back-pressure
- C.
Backflow
- D.
Cross-connection
Correct Answer(s)
A. SipHonage
B. Back-pressureExplanation
Each plumbing fixture trap must be protected against siphonage and back-pressure. Siphonage occurs when water is drawn out of the trap due to negative pressure in the system, while back-pressure happens when excessive pressure forces water back into the trap. Both conditions can lead to the loss of the trap seal, which is essential for preventing sewer gases from entering the building. Therefore, protection against siphonage and back-pressure is necessary to maintain the integrity of the plumbing system and ensure the health and safety of occupants.Rate this question:
