The requirement of a backflow assembly depends on your water supply connection. If you are getting your water from a municipal supply then you will have one, (as opposed to drawing your fire water from a private fire water storage tank). Any AWWA approved assembly is what is being referenced. Check with the water department to verify what type of backflow they require and if there are any particular manufactures they prefer.
Look at AMES, FEBCO, for some examples of double check, RPZ and other types of backflows. Craig L.
