Greg,

If I am reading this correctly, the FDC and the Standpipe are on the supply side of the DCDA? If so, you are correct. The DCDA should be between both the FDC and standpipe connection and the water supply, otherwise you will get a loop and the DCDA does not do its job.

BTW, how did you the Forum to distribute a scan of an engineered drawing? 8-)

Question: Will this work or does it create a loop that will prevent the
standpipe from receiving adequate pressure?



Thanks,

Greg
