uct has not been affected by corrosive water
conditions and to ensure that the valve and
discharge line have not been altered or tam-
pered with illegally. Certain naturally occur-
ring conditions may corrode the valve or its
components over time, rendering the valve
inoperative. Such conditions are not detect-
able unless the valve and its components
are physically removed and inspected. This
inspection must only be conducted by a
plumbing contractor or authorized inspec-

which can result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
