N.J. Admin. Code § 7:10-10.4 - Installation
(a) The
approved physical connection installation shall be installed on the customer's
side of the water meter on the pipe(s) conveying the water from the public
community water system into a facility, shall be installed as close to the
meter as is reasonably practicable, and shall be prior to any other connection,
unless such other connection is also protected by means of an approved physical
connection installation. For a fire service line, the approved physical
connection installation shall be installed prior to the alarm check and siamese
connection.
(b) The approved
physical connection installation shall be installed so as to allow easy access,
with adequate space for maintenance, inspection, and testing. No part of the
device shall be submerged or subjected to freezing temperatures unless such
part is thermally protected.
(c)
The approved physical connection installation shall not be installed in a pit
or vault.
1. This subsection shall not apply
to any physical connection installation operated under a current physical
connection permit issued before November 18, 1996 until such time as the
existing physical connection installation is replaced or modified.
(d) Unless specifically designed
for installation in a vertical position, any device used as an approved
physical connection installation shall be installed in the horizontal position.
Devices specifically designed for vertical installation shall be installed in
an up-feed position.
(e) There
shall be no bypass around any approved physical connection installation unless
such bypass is also protected by an approved physical connection
installation.
(f) When a physical
connection installation is proposed for a facility whose supply of water from
the public community water system cannot be interrupted for testing and/or
maintenance, a redundant backflow prevention device shall be provided at the
facility.
