About this asset

Engineered for potable water containment, this bronze reduced pressure zone assembly Revit family features integrated ball valves and swivel unions. The assembly showcases a cast bronze valve body configured with dual independent check valves and an intermediate relief valve chamber. Both ends are fitted with drop-down swivel union connections and quarter-turn shutoff ball valves, identifiable by their coated green lever handles. Four integrated test cocks are mounted along the body and inlet elbow for field diagnostic testing. Robust hex bolts secure the top maintenance cover plate, presenting an accurate physical geometry that mirrors standard commercial backflow prevention equipment.

The download is a 451 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this component directly into your Revit project as a pipe accessory or plumbing fixture. Connect the piping system connectors directly to your domestic water supply loops to ensure correct hydraulic flow direction. Detail lines and coarse level-of-detail representations allow clean drawing production in plan views and riser diagrams without cluttering complex mechanical equipment rooms.

Standard backflow prevention is critical across multi-family residential, healthcare, and educational facilities where containment of non-potable cross-connections is required by code. This unit installs neatly into mechanical utility rooms, dedicated plumbing service shafts, and exterior enclosure cabinets. It coordinates effectively with domestic cold water booster systems, water meters, and strainer assemblies during coordinated MEP BIM spatial routing.
