What are pressure regulator valves and how do they function?
A pressure regulator valve controls the amount of water pressure which is allowed through the valve. Appliances, valves and pipes are not meant to handle high water pressure. Unusually high pressure can lead to damage, leaks, and burst pipes. Another common sign of water pressure problems is water hammer—that clanging or chattering of pipes as the water goes through them.
