A.
				  Condensing water for dairy product evaporators, and water used to produce
				  vacuum or to condense vapors in vacuum heat processing equipment, shall be from

				  preventing such contamination include:
1. use
				  of a surface type condenser in which the condensing water is physically
				  separated from the vapors and condensate; or
2. use of reliable safeguards to prevent the
				  overflow of condensing water from the condenser into the evaporator. Such
				  safeguards include a barometric leg extending at least 35 feet vertically from
				  the invert of the outgoing condensing water line to the free level at which the
				  leg discharges, and/or a safety shutoff valve, located on the water feed line
				  to the condenser, automatically actuated by a control which will shutoff the
				  in-flowing water when the water level rises above a predetermined point in the
				  condenser. This valve may be actuated by water, air or electricity, and shall
				  be designed so that failure of the primary motivating power will automatically
				  stop the flow of water into the condenser.
