Because someone once upon a time in the mists of his early training told him this was 'policy', I expect. ;)

[quote user="Martin Atkinson"] How the heck the jobsworth thinks water in a tub table is going to flush back into the mains water supply[/quote]

The same way bacteria from your lavatory might – just – get back in to the mains (if your lavatory cistern were supplied by the rising main). Or from your bath if you have a shower on the taps and the shower head drops into a full bath. Perhaps not a great risk, but precautions are sensible. I can't understand why Patrick's man won't accept a double non-return valve, though.

In my case the problem was solved by connecting the tub table to the gravity feed system rather than the mains. How the heck the jobsworth thinks water in a tub table is going to flush back into the mains water supply anyway is beyond comprehension but they have to justify their wages and exert their little bit of power.
