Questions and Answers

What is the issue with the installation of the AVB in this scenario?

  • It is not compatible with atmospheric conditions
  • It is not properly installed in the correct location
  • It is under continuous pressure due to downstream shutoff valves (correct)
  • It is not connected to separate irrigation zones

    • Why is the installation of the AVB considered improper in this case?

  • It is not designed for use in irrigation systems
  • It remains pressurized due to having downstream shutoff valves (correct)
  • It does not provide atmospheric vacuum protection
  • It lacks compatibility with other irrigation components

    • What results from having the AVB under continuous pressure due to downstream shutoff valves?

  • Ineffective atmospheric vacuum protection (correct)
  • Reduced risk of backflow in the irrigation system
  • Improved water flow in the irrigation system
  • Increased efficiency of the AVB
