At what pressure do you run your water? The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

When I had my water heater replaced - plumber had to add a regulator on the main to the house and expansion tank at the heater - code now. City pressure near 100 psi - code puts it <70 "No matter where you go - there you are" | |||

I put PRVs in commercial buildings that do not have outlets on them. Thank God! The Watts 25AUB-Z3 Pressure Reducing Valve, ¾" is the one I use. No discharge, just a pressure reducer. Back flow devices, those have an outlet to which you cannot attach a closed pipe. And when they blow, watch out. | |||

this is on my primary water service - I have two PRV's on my water heater - due to the design of my house, it is not near an exterior wall so the discharge pipe runs to a floor pan - I have assumed the risk of it not venting to the exterior apparently that's relatively common around here [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||
