Residential Water Pressure Regulating Valves
The Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) calls for water to be delivered to homes for domestic use at between 50 to 70 psi. Angle stops (valves) and supply lines as well as appliances are generally designed to withstand working static water pressure of up to 75 pounds per square inch.
Increased water pressure can damage valves, hoses, faucets, fixtures, washing machines, dishwashers, ice makers, water filters, water softeners, water conditioners and other water-using appliances.
Call Innerline Plumbing today for a potable water pressure test and an estimate for a Water Pressure Regulating Valve installation.

If you’re in an older home, get rid of that old flusher fast!
