A properly working PRV is critical because it keeps residential water pressure in the safe 50–70 PSI range. Without it, your home receives whatever the city main delivers — often 100+ PSI — which damages every fixture, valve, supply line, and appliance in the home. A failed PRV is one of the most common causes of recurring leaks.

Why PRVs matter

  • Protects fixtures, valves, and supply lines
  • Extends water heater and appliance life
  • Prevents banging and water hammer
  • Reduces water-bill from leaks
  • Code-required where city pressure exceeds 80 PSI
