I am working on an existing two story plus attic wood frame building. The engineer is requiring zone control assemblies (butterfly valve plus riser manifold) for every level including the attic. I have designed it so there is a bull head tee at the top of a 4” riser with the assemblies on either side of the tee. Given that the flow switches are going to be in close proximity, should I install a check valve between the butterfly valve and the manifold?
