Under backsiphonage conditions, a small amount of water is permitted to exit through the air-ports. The AVB shall:

• a) Have its outlet open to pressure in the cabin;
• b) Not be subjected to backpressure;
• c) Not be subjected to more than twelve (12) hours of continuous water pressure;
• d) Be deck mounted/equipment mounted; and
