Header arrangement for 2 antifreeze zones

Header arrangement for 2 antifreeze zones

(OP)
Hi everyone, my first post here and want to thank everybody for the interesting Q&A on this site.  I've been reading for a while :)

I'm looking at a situation where 2 small antifreeze zones are required (NFPA 13 occupancy).  Each zone will be <20 Gallons.  To reduce costs I'm wondering if it is possible to have the 2 zone control stations downstream of 1 RP backflow assembly?

Thanks!

RE: Header arrangement for 2 antifreeze zones

What is your question exactly?

If you are asking whether one backflow assembly can supply two control valves, there is no reason why not.

Thanks.  Seems like a dumb question but just wanted to be sure.  I don't have a lot of experience with antifreeze systems and for some reason thought a separate RP backflow assembly might be required for each zone.
