Ask The Expert: Health Code Compliance & Back Flow Preventers

QUESTION:

We have 3 side by side Fetco coffee machines and just had the health department come by for an inspection.  What we are needing to know is:  Do the coffee machines have an internal back flow valve in them?  And if so could you send me an email with verification of that for us to give to health department?  If it does not, what do we need to do to get to code with this?  Thank you so much for your quick response to this question!

ANSWER:

Linea,

FETCO Coffee brewers do not have internal backflow preventers. To comply with health codes in your area we recommend the use of a Watts backflow preventer for beverage equipment model SD-2-MF 3/8” Order Code 006165.
