The RMC/Flomatic Reduced Pressure Zone Device is designed to give maximum protection to the potable water supply from contamination in high hazard applications such as cooling towers, abattoirs and sewage treatment plants.Maximum protection against back siphonage and back pressureInternal by-pass passage (no external plumbing)Designed for easy and quick in-line maintenance and testingLow head lossCorrosion resistantMaximum working pressure of 1200kPaOperating temperature range of 1°C to 82°C up to 50mm BSP ThreadedOperating temperature range of 1°C to 60°C from 65mm to 200mm Flanged Table EApproved to AS 2845-1

I inspect mainly newer homes and of course they all have trap primers going into the basement floor. Sometimes the small primer lines go into the floor quite a distance from the floor drain. Usually they are beside a stack. If the purpose of the trap primer is to keep the floor drain trap full, wouldn’t they have to enter right at the floor drain. Obviously they are not there to keep the floor drain trap primed so I’m confused.

The line and priming device should be there to prime the P-trap serving the floor drain. Where the line enters the floor should not be a problem as long as it ends up supplying water above the P-trap and remains functional.

The priming line is a very short distance from the top (usually in a tapped inlet). You can take the top off the drain and see it to confirm. If you really need to, you can shut the water off (normally) to the primer and check to see if it stops running in the drain.
