Backflow preventers

Does anyone know if one backflow preventer can feed two different boilers? Can't find any code that stipulate this.

    Are you talking about 2 separate closed loops systems? I don't think it is against code. I is not very practical as the systems would share the same water. A leak in one would result in a leak in the other.

    It would see both boilers as one system, unless you added additional checks on both, expansion tanks also.

    Same as a single BFD on the main house line feeding multiple connections downstream, I suppose.
