Chicken or egg question
Chicken or egg question
(OP)
When installing a backflow preventer and PRV in series, which would you install first and why?
I choose the PRV first, then BFP arrangement, since I always assume the more moderate the pressure imposed on a system component (e.g., the BFP), the better.
Does it matter?

RE: Chicken or egg question
If the installation is to protect the building water from a non potable use, i.e. cooling tower make up, there is no issue.

We work in a lot of remote areas where the AHJs acquiesce to whatever we draw and stamp.
