Potable water piping systems installed aboard ships must be __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Potable water system design requirements on ships for preventing contamination • The difference between construction/installation requirements and maintenance/sanitation procedures • How potable water piping is kept separate from non-potable or potentially contaminated systems

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which option describes a permanent installation feature of the piping system, not just a periodic maintenance task • Consider how cross‑connection with other systems (like bilge, ballast, or sewage) could affect drinking water safety on board • Think about which materials or practices are actually standard and practical in ship construction, versus something that sounds good but is unlikely to be a regulatory requirement

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice, if true, would always apply to the system (24/7) rather than occasionally • Eliminate any option that seems like an unusual or obsolete material requirement for modern potable water systems • Check which option best prevents backflow or contamination from other shipboard systems into drinking water lines
