Hello. Which one is the supply pressure? I don't quite understand that part.

The supply pressure is where the water enters the backflow preventer. It is the inlet pressure or the pressure at TC#1. Supply pressure is typically higher than the outlet pressure. Backpressure is the exception.

I know this video is old but I'm going to take a shot. Valves are banging in my rpz whenever my makeup water pump starts and stops like there's air trapped inside. How can I fix this?

Mikey - water hammer is the issues. can be corrected with the installation of a soft seated check valve downstream of the backflow prevention assembly.

Where does the Z come from lol. Video isn't bad. Thank you

The "Z" stands for the area between the first and second check valve "the Zone" - Some manufacturers refer to this type of backflow preventer as a "Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly" while other manufacturers refer to them as a "Reduced Pressure Principle Assembly"
