A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is an essential component in any home’s plumbing system. It automatically reduces the high incoming water pressure from the city main and maintains a safe, moderate pressure within your home, typically between 45-75 psi. This regulated pressure protects your plumbing and appliances from damage.
Why You Need a PRV
High water pressure can cause significant damage to your home’s plumbing system. When the pressure exceeds 75 psi., it can lead to:
- Damaged Pipes: Excessive pressure can weaken and burst pipes, leading to leaks and potential water damage.
- Affected Appliances: Water heaters, faucets, and other appliances can suffer from high-pressure wear and tear, resulting in costly repairs or replacements.
- Water Hammering: High pressure can cause water hammering, where pipes bang loudly when water flow is suddenly stopped.
Installing a water pressure reducing valve ensures that your home maintains a consistent and safe water pressure, preventing these issues and prolonging the lifespan of your plumbing system.
Importance of Pressure Reducing Valves
Protects Plumbing
A PRV helps to safeguard your plumbing system by maintaining a stable water pressure. This reduces the risk of pipe bursts and leaks, saving you from expensive repairs and potential water damage.
Maintains Consistent Pressure
By keeping your water pressure within a safe range, a PRV ensures that your plumbing fixtures and appliances operate efficiently. This consistent pressure helps prevent wear and tear, extending the lifespan of your plumbing system.
Energy and Water Savings
Properly regulated water pressure can lead to energy and water savings. When your appliances operate under optimal conditions, they use less water and energy, reducing your utility bills.
