What is a cross connection?

Google helps those who help themselves

Rtw, I agree. Folks think we help with homework instead of plumbing problems, where did that come from?

I'll answer it. A crossconnection is a situation where the hot line's connected to the cold one or a water lime's connected to drainage. Why do you ask? Tom

Hey speedball. I always thought a cross connection was the lack of an air gap that would allow a plumbing system to siphon water back into itself in the event of a loss of pressure. A faucet spout that had its end below the rim of a sink, for example.
