Devices to prevent pollution by backflow of potable water - Unrestricted air gap - Family A - Type A; German and English version prEN 13076:2026
Abstract
This document specifies the characteristics and the requirements of unrestricted air gap Family A, Type A for nominal flow velocity not exceeding 3 m/s. Air gaps are devices for protection of potable water in water installations from pollution by backflow. This document applies to air gaps in factoryassembled products and to constructed air gaps in situ and specifies requirements and methods to verify and ensure compliance with this document during normal working use. The fluid in the receiving vessel is assumed to have similar properties to the water supply. Where this is not the case, additional care or tests could be required to verify the efficacy of the solution in practical use. The AA device is intended to be used in potable water installations according to EN 806.
