IAPMO, UA publish fourth edition of Backflow Prevention Reference Manual
In collaboration with the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada (UA), the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) announced the release of the fourth edition of IAPMO’s Backflow Prevention Reference Manual.
The second edition, published in 2011, merged two of the cross-connection control industry’s most relied upon training manuals into a single text. This included the first edition of IAPMO’s Backflow Prevention Reference Manual and the UA’s Cross-Connection Control Manual. The third edition of the Backflow Prevention Reference Manual, published in 2016, continued to build on the important collaboration between the UA and IAPMO’s Backflow Prevention Institute (BPI). The third edition became the most used reference manual in the training and certification of backflow assembly testers, repairers, surveyors, and others working in the cross-connection control industry.
