ASME A112.1037 pdf download Performance requirements for pressurized flushing devices for plumbing fixtures
1 Scope
1.1
This Standard covers pressurized flushing devices (PFDs) intended to flush water closets, urinals, and otherplumbing fixtures and specifies requirements for materials, design, methods of operation, test methods.and markings.
1.2
in this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, .e, a provision that the user is obliged to satisfyin order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which isadvised but not required; and may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the
limits of the standard.Notes accompanying sections do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of anote accompanying a section is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.Notes to tables and fiqures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written asrequirements.
Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define theirapplication.
1.3
Sl units are the units of record in Canada. ln this Standard the inch/pound units are shown in parenthesesThe values stated in each measurement syster are equivalent in application; however, each system is tobe used independently. Combining values from the two measurement systems can result innon-conformance with this Standard. All references to gallons are to U.S. gallons.

2.2 Definitions
In addition to the definitions in the reference publications, the following definitions shall apply in this Standard:
Back siphonage — backflow caused by below-atmospheric pressure in the water system.
Backflow — a flowing back or reversal of the normal direction of flow.
Note: Back siphonage and back pressure are types of backflow.
Critical level (CL) — the lowest water level in a fitting at which back siphonage will not occur.
