It is up to the water company regarding backflow requirements. Art Tiroly ATCO Fire Protec
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ed Kramer Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 11:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Backflow protection on antifreeze system Anybody have a 2006 International Plumbing Code handy? I have a client who wants to use glycerine in a small antifreeze system. Nothing unusual about that. But he claims that by using food-grade glycerine he doesn't need an RP BFP and the associated expansion tank. I disagree, but don't have code references to back it up. The 2006 IPC is applicable. Thanks in advance!
