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.

Got Questions?

Pressure Reducing Valve Installation & Repair FAQ

?How much does PRV installation cost?
Pressure reducing valve: $200-$500. Installation including pressure testing and expansion tank: $400-$800 total. Most PRVs include a 5-10 year warranty.
?What pressure should a PRV be set to?
Standard setting is 50-55 PSI. This provides adequate pressure for all fixtures (showers, washing machines) while protecting plumbing. Some newer regulations recommend 50 PSI maximum.
?Do I need an expansion tank with a PRV?
If your home has a water heater without an expansion tank, we recommend adding one. The PRV traps water in the system, and thermal expansion from the heater creates pressure spikes. The expansion tank absorbs this safely.
?How long do pressure reducing valves last?
Quality PRVs last 10-15 years. Internal cartridges may need replacement every 3-5 years depending on sediment in your water. We monitor pressure and recommend service when pressure fluctuates.
?What happens if the PRV fails?
If a PRV fails closed, water pressure downstream drops significantly (low water flow). If it fails open, high pressure returns. That's why we test annually and replace cartridges proactively before failure.
