As I understand the cat 5 DC pipe interrupters are intended for open outlet applications ie urinals, otherwise the water would discharge out of the vent holes. Are there any inline fittings that are suitable or do you have to go down the AUK1 air gap route.

says "Alternatively using a pipe interrupter (Type DC device) will work, however the design practicalities can prove difficult and other problems may arise from reduced water pressure and flow – so it is vital to give careful consideration before taking this route"
Ideally I want 2 installed with hot and cold or just hot feed off a combi boiler.
What if you do an installation where the spray cannot reach the water level in the pan. Does that get around the need for Cat 5?
