Barometric Loop
 |
The barometric loop consistes of a continuous section of supply piping that abruptly rises to a
height of approximately 35 feet and then returns back down to the originating level. It is a loop in
the piping system that effectively protects against back-siphonage. It may not be used to protect
against back-pressure. Its operation, in the protection against back-siphonage, is based upon the principle that a water column, at sea level pressure, will not rise above 33.9 feet. In general, barometric loops are locally fabricated, and are 35 feet high. |
