Water Pressure Regulators

Installations & Repairs for Home Water Pressure Regulators

Water pressure regulators are sometimes called pressure-reducing valves. They are used to automatically reduce the high incoming water pressure from city mains to provide a lower, more practical and functional pressure for home use. 

This water pressure regulation ensures that the home’s plumbing system and appliances operate safely and effectively with less waste.

How Water Pressure Regulators Work

A water pressure regulator is a brass fitting often found near the main shutoff valve of a house and works to control the flow of water into your home’s plumbing via a diaphragm. This diaphragm expands and contracts based on the amount of pressure passed through the fixture using a spring-loaded mechanism. 

In other words, the regulator shrinks when high pressure is applied to restrict the water flow and expands when the water pressure is lowered.
