You can. You just can't separate the valve from the BFP and insert a tee next to the check valve in the BFP. That will void the listing on the BFP since it is listed as an assembly. (at least that is according to most of the BFP rep's that I have talked with).
If you leave it as the assembly, then you should have a separate valve for the wet and dry system (that was originally discussed in this thread) in addition to the valve on the BFP. It's just not a good practice to shut down both systems while trying to work on just one of them. IMHO. Spend the extra $$$ and do it right.
