FAQs

What is the purpose of a pressure reducing valve?

A pressure reducing valve lowers the incoming water pressure to a safe and consistent level, protecting appliances and plumbing from damage.

How do I adjust the pressure on the valve?

Most pressure reducing valves have an adjustment screw. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for your specific valve model.

Where should the pressure reducing valve be installed?

Typically installed on the main water supply line entering the building or before sensitive appliances.

What size pressure reducing valve do I need?

The size depends on your water flow rate and pipe size. This Intatec valve is designed for 15mm connections.

How often should I check the pressure reducing valve?

It is recommended to inspect the valve at least once a year.

Can I install the valve myself?

If you are comfortable with plumbing, yes. If not, consult a qualified plumber for installation.

What happens if the pressure reducing valve fails?

If the valve fails, it could either stop water flow or allow excessive pressure, which could damage your plumbing and appliances. Regular inspection is important.

Troubleshooting

Low water pressure after installation.

Check the pressure setting on the valve and adjust it to increase the pressure. Ensure there are no blockages in the valve or the connected pipes.

Water hammer or noise.

Ensure the valve is set to the correct pressure and that all connections are secure. Check for any air pockets in the plumbing system.
