Pressure Reducing Valve Repair and Installation in Austin, TX

Pressure reducing valves are an essential feature of many residential plumbing and water supply systems, ensuring a steady flow of water and preventing excessive pressure on pipes. They are found in homes in Austin, Texas, and across the United States, and their proper installation and maintenance are crucial to keeping a variety of water-related systems functioning optimally. Abacus Residential and Commercial Plumbers are experts in pressure reducing valve repairs and installations and can keep your plumbing free and clear of issues related to the unique requirements of a pressure reducing valve.

A pressure reducing valve is designed to reduce the pressure coming out of the water supply. This can be beneficial for many reasons, but it is mainly used to protect the pipes and water-related appliances in a home from excessive pressure that can result in damaged pipes and damaged valves, and even cause water to spray or leak out.

When installing a pressure reducing valve, there are two main components: the valve itself and the pressure gauging device, both of which need to be in the correct position for the valve to function properly and safely. The pressure reducing valve must be mounted vertically with the inlet valve pointed up and the outlet valve pointed down, and the pressure gauging device must be mounted to the side of the valve and set to the desired pressure.

In addition to this, the pressure reducing valve must be sized correctly for the pipe it is connected to. In other words, a pressure reducing valve that is too small for the pipe size will not be able to reduce the pressure adequately, which can cause high pressure resulting in water leaks. Conversely, a pressure reducing valve that is too large for the pipe size will actually create a pressure drop, which can cause low water pressure in the home.

An experienced plumber will be able to properly size and install your pressure reducing valve, ensuring that it functions optimally.
