3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
The following definitions shall apply in this Standard:
Accessible — readily serviceable or readily replaceable.
Accessible design — a design approach for making devices accessible to persons with physical, sensory,
or cognitive disabilities.
Note: Accessible designs were formerly called barrier-free designs.
Accessory — a component that can, at the discretion of the user, be readily added, removed, or
replaced and that, when removed, will not prevent the fitting from fulfilling its primary function.
Note: Examples include aerators, hand-held shower assemblies, showerheads, and in-line flow controls.
Air gap — the unobstructed vertical distance, through air, between the lowest point of a water supply
outlet and the mounting deck of the fitting.
