Gang or Group Shower. Two or more showers in a common area. Gas Piping.

(2) An approved piping connection 6 feet (1829 mm) or less

in length between an existing gas outlet and a gas appliance in the same room with the outlet. Gas Piping System.

General Anesthesia and Levels of Sedation/Analge- sia.

Deep Sedation/Analgesia. A drug-induced depression of consciousness during which patients cannot be easily aroused but respond purposefully following repeated or painful stimulation. The ability to independently maintain ventilatory function may be impaired. Patients may require assistance in maintaining a patent airway, and spontaneous ventilation may be inadequate. Cardiovascular function is usually maintained. [NFPA 99:3.3.66.2] General Anesthesia. A drug-induced loss of consciousness during which patients are not arousable, even by painful stimulation. The ability to independently maintain ventilatory function is often impaired. Patients often require assistance in maintaining a patent airway, and positive pressure ventilation may be required because of depressed spontaneous ventilation or druginduced depression of neuromuscular function. Cardiovascular function may be impaired. [NFPA 99:3.3.66.1] Minimal Sedation (Anxiolysis). A drug-induced state during which patients respond normally to verbal commands. Although cognitive function and coordination may be impaired, ventilatory and cardiovascular functions are unaffected. [NFPA 99:3.3.66.4]

Moderate Sedation/Analgesia (Conscious Seda- tion). A drug-induced depression of consciousness during which patients respond purposefully to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied by light tactile stimulation. No interventions are required to maintain a patient airway, and spontaneous ventilation is adequate. Cardiovascular function is usually maintained. [NFPA 99:3.3.66.3] Grade. The slope or fall of a line of pipe in reference to a horizontal plane. In drainage, it is usually expressed as the

atients respond purposefully to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied by light tactile stimulation. No interventions are required to maintain a patient airway, and spontaneous ventilation is adequate. Cardiovascular function is usually maintained. [NFPA 99:3.3.66.3] Grade. The slope or fall of a line of pipe in reference to a horizontal plane. In drainage, it is usually expressed as the

fall in a fraction of an inch (mm) or percentage slope per foot (meter) length of pipe. Gravity Grease Interceptor. A plumbing appurtenance or appliance that is installed in a sanitary drainage system to intercept nonpetroleum fats, oils, and greases (FOG) from a wastewater discharge and is identified by volume, 30 minute retention time, baffle(s), not less than two compartments, a total volume of not less than 300 gallons (1135 L), and gravity separation. [These interceptors comply with the requirements of Chapter 10 or are designed by a registered design professional.] Gravity grease interceptors are generally installed outside. Graywater [BSC-CG & HCD 1]. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17922.12, "graywater" means untreated wastewater that has not been contaminated by any toilet dis- charge, has not been affected by infectious, contaminated, or unhealthy bodily wastes, and does not present a threat from contamination by unhealthful processing, manufacturing, or operating wastes. "Graywater" includes, but is not limited to, wastewater from bathtubs, showers, bathroom washbasins, clothes washing machines, and laundry tubs, but does not include wastewater from kitchen sinks or dishwashers. Note: For the purpose of applying the standards contained in this code, “Graywater” as defined above, has the same meaning as “gray water”, “grey water”, and “greywater”. Gray Water System [BSC-CG]. A system designed to col- lect gray water to be treated on-site for reuse or distribution to an irrigation or disposal field. A gray water system may include, on-site treated nonpotable water devices or equip- ment, tanks, valves, filters, pumps or other appurtenances along with piping and receiving landscape. Gray Water System [HCD 1]. A system designed to collect gray water on-site for reuse or distribution to an irrigation or disposal field. A gray water system may include, on-site treated nonpotable water devices or equipment, tanks, valves, filters, pumps or other appurtenances along with piping and receiving landscape. Grease Interceptor. A plumbing appurtenance or appliance that is installed in a sanitary drainage system to intercept nonpetroleum fats, oil, and greases (FOG) from a wastewater discharge. Grease Removal Device (GRD). A hydromechanical grease interceptor that automatically, mechanically removes non-petroleum fats, oils and grease (FOG) from the interceptor, the control of which are either automatic or manually initiated. Grounding Electrode. A conducting object through which a direct connection to earth is established. [NFPA 70:100 (Part I)] Group Wash Fixture. A lavatory that allows more than one person to utilize the fixture at the same time. The fixture has one or more drains and one or more faucets.
