We usually specify combined test/drain valves that are angle pattern with 
integral ¾" pressure relief, installed on the pipe nipple that's immediately 
connected to the riser.  We have a sitch where the risers are being pushed way 
too high above the FF by a crowded room (a tree directly over a backflow) and 
we need to pipe back down with the test/drain valves.  We found a globe pattern 
valve on the web called a Rapidrop that's straight pattern - has anyone ever 
used this or an equivalent?  We're so used to the angle-pattern TestandDrain 
valves that we're not really aware of the alternatives.
