What is a Pressure Reducing Valve?

A PRV is designed to keep water pressure to a manageable level for your home plumbing system in order to prevent leaks and breaks caused by high pressure. In most cases the original builder should have installed a PRV, however if this is not the case, it is the current owner’s responsibility to install the PRV. If your pressure exceeds 80 PSI and you currently have a PRV installed, the PRV may require adjustment, maintenance or replacement.
