The annex material includes several options that aren’t dedicated hose valves. Your AHJ is over reaching and under thinking.

Has anyone had a plan reviewer not accept a hydrant or standpipes as means to forward flow test a backflow preventer? We have a project with a backflow in the vault on the fire line. Downstream of that is a hydrant. Then in the building we have standpipes. This is a light hazard system. The reviewer is mandating (2) hose valves on the riser for forward flow test of backflow preventer. Can anyone see where a hydrant or standpipes would not be an acceptable means for a light hazard system? Since there are standpipes, I would assume the hydrant would be the preferred method to forward flow test anyway.
