anode
- [INSPIRE Code list value
anode
]
Definition: Anode.
Description: An anode is a feature (specifically, an electrical mechanism) that’s applied to system components for the prevention of rust, pitting, and the corrosion of metal surfaces that are in contact with water or soil. A low-voltage current is applied to the water or soil in contact with the metal, such that the electromotive force renders the metal component cathodic. Corrosion is concentrated on the anodes instead of on the associated (and protected) water system components. This type of corrosion may occur in copper, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and ductile iron pipes.

clear well
- [INSPIRE Code list value
clear well
]
Definition: Clear well.
Description: A clear well is an enclosed tank that is associated with a treatment plant. Clear wells are used to store filtered water of sufficient capacity to prevent the need to vary the filtration rate with variations in demand. Clear wells are also used to provide chlorine contact time for disinfection. Pumps are used to move the water from the clear well to the treatment plant or to a distribution system.

Definition: Fitting.
Description: The fitting represents the facility found at the joint between two lines where a transition of some sort must occur. The basic co
ecting devices between pipes; fittings are rarely used to control the flow of water through the network.
|
|
hydrant
- [INSPIRE Code list value
hydrant
]
Definition: Hydrant.
Description: A hydrant enables fire fighters to attach fire hoses to the distribution network. Hydrants also have secondary uses that include flushing main lines and laterals, filling tank trucks, and providing a temporary water source for construction jobs.
|
|
junction
- [INSPIRE Code list value
junction
]
Definition: Junction.
Description: The junction is a water network node where two or more pipes combine, or a point where water consumption is allocated and defined as demand.
|
|
lateral point
- [INSPIRE Code list value
lateral point
]
Definition: Lateral point.
Description: A lateral point represents the location of the co
ection between the customer and the distribution system.
|
|
meter
- [INSPIRE Code list value
meter
]
Definition: Meter.
Description: A meter is a facility that is used to measure water consumption (volume). Being a facility, a meter plays the role of a junction on the active network. NOTE Meters are also much like hydrants as they also have an associated warehouse object, namely, a WarehouseMeter.

|
pump
- [INSPIRE Code list value
pump
]
Definition: Pump.
Description: A pump is a piece of equipment that moves, compresses, or alters the pressure of a fluid, such as water or air, being conveyed through a natural or artificial cha
el. NOTE Pump types include AxialFlow, Centrifugal, Jet, Reciprocating, Rotary, Screw, and Turbine.
|
|
pump station
- [INSPIRE Code list value

|
surge relief tank
- [INSPIRE Code list value
surge relief tank
]
Definition: Surge relief tank.
Description: A surge relief tank is a piece of equipment used to absorb pressure increases in the water system. Surge relief tanks provide a buffer against throttling within the system by accepting water into a tank through a pressure valve.
|
|
system valve
- [INSPIRE Code list value
system valve
]
Definition: System valve.
Description: A system valve is a facility that is fitted to a pipeline or orifice in which the closure member is either rotated or moved transversely or longitudinally in the waterway so as to control or stop the flow. System valves are used to regulate pressure, isolate, throttle flow, prevent backflow, and relieve pressure. NOTE System valve types include Gate, Plug, Ball, Cone, and Butterfly. These specific types may be classified as isolation valves.

thrust protection
- [INSPIRE Code list value
thrust protection
]
Definition: Thrust protection.
Description: The thrust protection represents a type of line protector that’s used to prevent pipe movement. Thrust protection is commonly implemented as thrust blocks (masses of concrete material) that are placed at bends and around valve structures. NOTE The types of thrust protection include Anchor, Blocking, Deadman, and Kicker.
