High water pressure damages plumbing fixtures, appliances, and water lines over time. Standard residential water pressure ranges from 40-80 PSI, but some municipal systems deliver 100+ PSI. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) is a regulator installed where water enters your home that automatically reduces incoming pressure to safe levels, protecting all downstream pipes, fixtures, and appliances.
The Details
What You Need to Know
A pressure reducing valve contains an internal diaphragm that responds to pressure changes. As incoming water pressure rises above the set point (usually 50-55 PSI), the diaphragm partially closes, reducing pressure downstream. PRVs are essential in homes with consistently high municipal water pressure, especially in areas with elevation changes where pressure fluctuates significantly.
Without a PRV, high pressure causes: water hammer (loud banging in pipes when valves shut quickly), accelerated wear on water heater elements and furnace components, shortened appliance life (dishwashers, washing machines fail faster), and pinhole leaks in copper water lines. A PRV extends the life of your entire plumbing system by 20-30 years.
We install expansion tanks alongside PRVs for systems with water heaters. The expansion tank absorbs pressure spikes from thermal expansion, working together with the PRV to create a balanced, efficient system. Maintenance involves periodic cartridge replacement and pressure testing to ensure optimal performance.
