Water Pressure Regulators

A water pressure regulator is a specialized type of valve that reduces the incoming water pressure to the proper manageable level for the home or commercial property plumbing infrastructure. Water pressure regulators are typically installed where the main water line enters the home, just after the main shutoff valve. We're the leading commercial and residential plumber for Riverton and the Salt Lake Valey and we're also the number one experts in the area on plumbing fixture installations and pressure regulator valves.

Dangers Of High Water Pressure

High water pressure, which is generally considered anything above 60 lbs., can be damaging in home plumbing systems because water can erode or wear away many materials. A big "push" in home plumbing water pressure can also cause leaking water heaters, banging water pipes, dripping faucets, dishwasher, and clothes washer noise and breakdown, or leaking water pipes. Water flowing at a rate in excess of that necessary to satisfy normal fixture or appliance demands becomes damaging, and wasteful, and reduces the life expectancy of pipes and equipment in the system. But, most important to most homeowners is the additional costs of water, energy, and wastewater bills.

Frequently Asked Pressure Regulator Valves Questions

Water hammer is the noise generated by the shocks of high-speed water flowing in a pipe when a fixture is suddenly closed. The sudden stoppage causes a "bounce back" of the water and is called water hammer, causing banging pipes, noisy systems, and damage to appliances. Pressure regulator valves control the pressure of the water in your system and eliminate irritating water hammer.

In the past, water pressure reducing valves were considered pressure controls because they are used to protect appliances and piping from the effects of high water pressure. However, because of water and energy shortages in addition to cost problems, water pressure reducing valves have become increasingly more important because they automatically provide the advantage of conserving water and energy.
