Inspector comments: At can wash, a splitter valve is installed downstream of the atmospheric vacuum breaker. This creates a continuous pressure situation that is not properly protected from backflow. An additional backflow prevention device, such as a hose vacuum breaker (ASSE 1011), must be installed between the splitter valve and the open-ended red hose.
