thank you

thank you, that pic is great, I think I will end up doing exactly the same thing and be done with the issue. Two side notes, I like Dr Pepper too!



Also why does it look like I dont see the drain flow line coming out of the backflow preventer?

I See

the Dr. Pepper, but I can't see the Maxwell House. I'm a Smithwick's guy, it's OK I was in the garage at home.

We normally

pipe the feed into boiler return pipe . You can purge the zones with hot water and know they're all done easier . And if you're closing the PRV down after purging ( with a LWCO ) , the placement of the valve is not critical .
