Hi guys,
Im new to this site, and rather new to Canada. I was a plumber in England and moved to Canada last year. I have since passed my CofQ and have my Canadian Plumbing license, but there are still a lot of things I have to learn. I am only 22 aswell. I have a job I intend to complete next week. One of my customers had their home inspected, and the inspector noticed that there was no backflow device on the bidet faucet. I know newer faucets come with a vacuum breaker installed within the faucet (usually in the diverter).
This is the vacuum breaker I intend to use. One on both hot and cold supply lines to the bidet. Could someone with a little more experience than myself advise me on the suitability of this vacuum breaker. I know it is suitable to protect against back siphonage, but I was under the impression from college that this vacuum breaker is intended to be installed at least 300mm above the flood level rim of the fixture it serves?
Thanks
Sean
