It is not all about revision or knowing the answers off the top of your head a lot of the question are designed to make sure you can research to find what should be done.
Want to try some ? What backflow device would be required hear & why.

[Howsie]

Double check due to taps being below the spillover.

Would the fluid category change if the domestic washing machine was being installed in a care home, if so what would you consider it to be ?

 

[Howsie]

It would be a five.

 

[jayman]

Yes I say a 5

I wwould say this is fluid category 3 and would need a double check valve on this

 

[chris watkins]

I wwould say this is fluid category 3 and would need a double check valve on this

Category 3 because it is water that has entered the bath & a double check valve will provide adequate protection because there is no air gap (tap outlets could be submerged) but where should the protection be installed ?
