Product Information
Full details
The Plumbright Pressure Reducing Valve is an essential component for homeowners, facility managers, and plumbing contractors looking to stabilize water pressure in domestic, commercial, or industrial piping systems. By maintaining a consistent output of 3 Bar, this valve protects your plumbing infrastructure, appliances, and fixtures from the damaging effects of high-pressure surges; however, users should note that the device requires precise calibration if the default setting is unsuitable for specific delicate equipment.

FAQs
Can this valve be used on outdoor water lines?
Yes, it is designed for both domestic and industrial potable water systems, provided the lines are protected from freezing temperatures.
Is a pressure gauge included with the valve?
No, the valve does not include an integrated pressure gauge. You may need to install a separate gauge downstream to verify the exact output pressure.
What is the factory pressure setting?
The valve is pre-set to 3 Bar at the factory.
Can I install this on pipes larger than 15mm?
This model is specifically designed for 15mm compression fittings. Using it with larger pipes would require professional-grade reducers.
Does this valve work with hot water?
Yes, it is fully rated for both hot and cold potable water services.
Troubleshooting
Water pressure remains high despite adjustment
Check that the adjustment screw was turned counter-clockwise sufficiently or flush the unit to remove internal debris.
Visible leakage at connection points
Ensure the compression nuts are tightened correctly and the pipe ends were deburred properly before installation.
Pressure fluctuates significantly
Verify there are no blockages in the upstream line or air pockets trapped within the system.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Pre-set to industry-standard 3 Bar
- Wide adjustment range (1-6 Bar)
- Suitable for both hot and cold water lines
- Simple 15mm compression fitting installation
Cons
- Requires manual adjustment for non-standard pressure needs
- Limited to 15mm pipe systems
- Pressure gauge not included for real-time monitoring
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves cutting the 15mm supply line and securing the valve using the provided compression nuts and olives. Ensure the flow direction arrow on the valve body aligns with the direction of the water flow. Once installed, the pressure can be adjusted using the top adjustment screw; turn clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease it. For long-term care, periodically inspect the valve for leaks and ensure the connection points remain tight. If the valve fails to adjust pressure, it may be necessary to flush the system to remove debris that could be affecting the internal diaphragm.
