(Chapter 4 commencing with Section 116275) for purposes of enforcing
this part and compliance with any requirements with regard to potable
water, as defined in Section 113869.

114189.1.  Chemicals used as boiler water additives shall meet the
requirements specified in 21 C.F.R. 173.310.

114190.  All plumbing and plumbing fixtures shall be installed in
compliance with applicable local plumbing ordinances, shall be
maintained so as to prevent any contamination, and shall be kept
clean, fully operative, and in good repair.

114192.  (a) Except as provided in subdivision (d), an adequate,
protected, pressurized, potable supply of hot water and cold water
shall be provided. Hot water shall be supplied at a minimum
temperature of at least 120*F measured from the faucet, unless
otherwise specified in this part. The water supply shall be from a
water system approved by the health officer or the local enforcement
agency.
   (b) Any hose used for conveying potable water shall be constructed
of nontoxic materials, shall be used for no other purpose, and shall
be clearly labeled as to its use. The hose shall be stored and used
so as to be kept free of contamination.
   (c) The potable water supply shall be protected with a backflow or
back siphonage protection device when required by applicable
plumbing codes. Exposed piping of a nonpotable water system shall be
identified so that it is readily distinguishable from piping that
carries potable water.
   (d) A food facility may provide only warm water if the water
supply is used only for handwashing, as required in Section 113953.

114192.1.  (a) Water under pressure shall be permanently plumbed to
all fixtures, equipment, and nonfood equipment that are required to
use water, except for water supplied to nonpermanent food facilities.
   (b) Water under pressure shall be provided at a sufficient level
as specified by the Uniform Plumbing Code and manufacturer's
specifications for equipment and fixtures in the food facility.

114193.  (a) All steam tables, ice machines and bins, food
preparation sinks, warewashing sinks, display cases, walk-in
refrigeration units, and other similar equipment that discharge
liquid waste shall be drained by means of indirect waste pipes, and
all wastes drained by them shall discharge through an airgap into a
floor sink or other approved type of receptor.
   (b) Drainage from reach-in refrigeration units shall be conducted
in a sanitary manner to a floor sink or other approved device by an
indirect connection or to a properly installed and functioning
evaporator.
   (c) Indirect waste receptors shall be located to be readily
accessible for inspection and cleaning.

immediately downstream from a floor drain, or they may be drained
through an approved indirect connection.
   (e) Warewashing sinks in use on January 1, 1996, that are directly
plumbed may be continued in use. This section does not require
warewashing sinks to be indirectly plumbed when the local building
official determines that the sink should be directly plumbed.

114193.1.  An air gap between the water supply inlet and the flood
level rim of the plumbing fixture, equipment, or nonfood equipment
shall be at least twice the diameter of the water supply inlet and
may not be less than one inch.

114195.  (a) The water source and system shall be of sufficient
capacity to meet the peak water demands of the food facility.
   (b) Hot water generation and distribution systems shall be
sufficient to meet the peak hot water demands throughout the food
facility.
