Where should Hose Bib Vacuum be located?

Near the main entry door
On hose bibs as required by code
In the basement of the building
At the water meter

The correct answer is: On hose bibs as required by code

The answer is based on the requirement that a Hose Bib Vacuum, also known as a vacuum breaker, should be installed on hose bibs as specified by plumbing codes. This device is essential for preventing backflow, which can occur when water in the hose or outside environment is drawn back into the potable water supply. By placing the vacuum breaker directly on the hose bib, it ensures that any potential contaminants can be effectively contained and prevents cross-connection, ensuring safe drinking water. The placement is guided by code to ensure it is accessible for inspection and maintenance while effectively safeguarding the water supply. This requirement is critical in all areas where hose bibs are present to uphold public health standards. The other options may suggest locations for the hose bib or components of the plumbing system, but they do not align with the specific code requirements for backflow prevention.
