What's your basis for requiring two backflow prevention devices?  You  
can use the U-loop with the drilled check valve on the antifreeze  
system w/o a BFP but then your backflow protection between the  
sprinkler system and the potable water can no longer be just a double  
check BFP but must be a reduced-pressure type.
