Ohio Admin. Code 4101:3-8-01 - [Effective until 3/1/2024] Indirect/special waste
801.1
Scope.
This chapter shall govern matters
concerning indirect waste piping and special wastes. This chapter shall further
control matters concerning food-handling establishments, sterilizers,
clear-water waste, swimming pools, methods of providing air breaks or air gaps,
and neutralizing devices for corrosive wastes.
801.2
Protection.
Devices,
appurtenances, appliances and apparatus intended to serve some special
function, such as sterilization, distillation, processing, cooling, or storage
of ice or foods, and that discharge to the drainage system, shall be provided
with protection against backflow, flooding, fouling, contamination and stoppage
of the drain.
802.1
Where required.
Food-handling equipment, in other than dwelling units,
clear-water waste, dishwashing machines and utensils, pots, pans and
dishwashing sinks shall discharge through an indirect waste pipe as specified
in Sections 802.1.1 through 802.1.8. Health-care related fixtures, devices and
equipment shall discharge to the drainage system through an indirect waste pipe
by means of an air gap in accordance with this chapter and Section 713.3.
Fixtures not required by this section to be indirectly connected shall be
directly connected to the plumbing system in accordance with Chapter 7.
802.1.1
Food
handling.
Equipment and fixtures utilized
for the storage, preparation and handling of food shall discharge through an
indirect waste pipe by means of an air gap. Each well of a multiple-compartment
sink shall discharge independently to a waste receptor.
802.1.2
Floor
drains in food storage areas.
Floor drains
located within walk-in refrigerators or freezers in food service and food
establishments shall be indirectly connected to the sanitary drainage system by
means of an air gap. Where a floor drain is located within an
area subject to freezing, the waste line serving the floor drain shall not be
trapped and shall indirectly discharge into a waste receptor located outside of
the area subject to freezing.
802.1.3
Potable
clear-water waste.
Where devices and
equipment, such as sterilizers and relief valves, discharge potable water to
the building drainage system, the discharge shall be through an indirect waste
pipe by means of an air gap.
802.1.4
Swimming pools.
Where
waste water from swimming pools, backwash from filters and water from pool deck
drains discharge to the building drainage system, the discharge shall be
through an indirect waste pipe by means of an air gap.
802.1.5
Nonpotable clear-water waste.
Where devices and equipment such as process tanks, filters,
drips and boilers discharge nonpotable water to the building drainage system,
the discharge shall be through an indirect waste pipe by means of an air break
or an air gap.
802.1.6
Domestic dishwashing machines.
Domestic dishwashing machines shall discharge indirectly
through an air gap or air break into a waste receptor in accordance with
Section 802.2, or discharge into a wye branch fitting on the tailpiece of the
kitchen sink or the dishwasher connection of a food waste disposer. The waste
line of a domestic dishwashing machine discharging into a kitchen sink
tailpiece or food waste disposer shall connect to a deck-mounted air gap or the
waste line shall rise and be securely fastened to the underside of the sink rim
or counter.
802.1.7
Commercial dishwashing machines.
The discharge from a commercial
dishwashing machine shall be through an air gap or air break into a waste
receptor in accordance with Section 802.2.
802.1.8
Food
utensils, dishes, pots and pans sinks.
Sinks, in other than dwelling units, used for the washing,
rinsing or sanitizing of utensils, dishes, pots, pans or service ware used in
the preparation, serving or eating of food shall discharge indirectly through
an air gap or an air break to the drainage system.
802.2
Installation.
Indirect
waste piping shall discharge through an air gap or air break into a waste
receptor. Waste receptors shall be trapped and vented and shall connect to the
building drainage system. Indirect waste piping that exceeds 30 inches (762 mm)
in developed length measured horizontally, or 54 inches (1372 mm) in total
developed length, shall be trapped.
802.2.1
Air gap.
The
air gap between the indirect waste pipe and the flood level rim of the waste
receptor shall be not less than twice the effective opening of the indirect
waste pipe.
802.2.2
Air break.
An air break shall be provided between the indirect waste
pipe and the trap seal of the waste receptor.
802.3
Waste
receptors.
For other than hub drains that
receive only clear-water waste and standpipes, a removable strainer or basket
shall be installed in waste receptors. Waste receptors shall
not be installed in concealed spaces. Waste receptors shall not be installed in
plenums, crawl spaces, attics, interstitial spaces above ceilings and below
floors. Ready access shall be provided to waste receptors.
802.3.1
Size of
receptors.
A waste receptor shall be sized
for the maximum discharge of all indirect waste pipes served by the receptor.
Receptors shall be installed to prevent splashing or flooding.
802.3.2
Hub
drains.
A hub drain shall be in the form
of a hub or a pipe extending not less than 1 inch (25 mm) above a
water-impervious floor.
802.3.3
Standpipes.
Standpipes
shall be individually trapped. Standpipes shall extend not less than 18 inches
(457 mm) but not greater than 42 inches (1066 mm) above the trap weir. Access
shall be provided to standpipes and drains for rodding.
803.1
Neutralizing device required for corrosive wastes.
Corrosive liquids, spent acids or other
harmful chemicals that destroy or injure a drain, sewer, soil or waste pipe, or
create noxious or toxic fumes or interfere with sewage treatment processes
shall not be discharged into the plumbing system without being thoroughly
diluted, neutralized or treated by passing through an approved dilution or
neutralizing device. Such devices shall be automatically provided with a
sufficient supply of diluting water or neutralizing medium so as to make the
contents non injurious before discharge into the drainage system. The nature of
the corrosive or harmful waste and the method of its treatment or dilution
shall be approved prior to installation.
803.2
System
design.
A chemical drainage and vent
system shall be designed and installed in accordance with this code. Chemical
drainage and vent systems shall be completely separated from the sanitary
systems. Chemical waste shall not discharge to a sanitary drainage system until
such waste has been treated in accordance with Section 803.1.
804.1
General.
The materials and methods utilized for the
construction and installation of indirect waste pipes and systems shall comply
with the applicable provisions of Chapter 7.
