RPZ drafting symbol?

Steve Minnich

Does anyone have a RPZ backflow preventor symbol that can be hand drawn they can share? I waited 2 weeks for a permit and it was denied because I drew a typical backflow symbol. I've found pictorial type drawings used in CAD but nothing that I can draw easily.

Stephen this should work

EzzyT - Thank you! The bottom drawing is pretty much what I gave them but they said it wasn't good enough. Piotr Zelasko is doing a CAD drawing of my piping schematic. Thanks again for the effort.

That's what I've used on drawings in NYC and NJ and haven't had any issues with permits being approved. That's the exact same drawing that I have in my backflow test book, so it's interesting what they want different

I agree completely. I quit trying to figure out the people behind the curtain.

This is what i have, a litttle different but not much.

@RJMCTAFO - I respect your right to disagree but unless you're the plumbing inspector for Lemont, IL and you're disputing the symbol I used, I have no idea what you're disagreeing to?
