Pressure Reducing Valve Replacement in Lancaster, CA
A new service line can bring more pressure into the house than the old, scaled one did. That is good up to a point. Above 80 psi, faucets bang, toilet fill valves wear quickly, and new pipe joints take more stress than they should. The plumbing codes generally call for a pressure reducing valve when street pressure is higher than 80 psi.
SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Lancaster, CA homeowners with plumbers who install and replace pressure reducing valves. The valve goes on the main line just after the shutoff, and it is usually set somewhere around 50 to 60 psi.
PRVs wear out. Signs include pressure that creeps up overnight, a relief valve on the water heater that drips, and a humming or chattering sound at the main. A gauge on a hose bib tells the story in a minute.
It makes sense to replace the PRV during a water line replacement or repipe. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301.
