Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Pressure Reducing Valve (15mm) is designed for plumbing professionals and homeowners looking to stabilize water pressure in domestic, commercial, and industrial hot and cold potable water systems. Its primary benefit is the consistent regulation of water supply at a precise pressure, which helps protect downstream appliances and pipework from pressure spikes. A key caveat is that while the valve is factory pre-set to 3 Bar, it requires manual adjustment and verification using the included gauge to ensure it meets the specific pressure requirements of your unique plumbing installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the factory pre-set pressure?

The valve is factory pre-set to 3 Bar.

Can I use this for central heating systems?

This valve is specifically designed for potable water systems, not for sealed central heating circuits.

What is the maximum pressure this valve can handle?

The valve is fully adjustable within the range of 1 to 6 Bar.

Is the pressure gauge included?

Yes, the valve comes equipped with an integrated gauge.

Does this valve require electricity?

No, this is a mechanical pressure reducing valve that operates purely based on water pressure physics.

Is it compatible with plastic piping?

Yes, provided you use the appropriate pipe inserts for 15mm compression fittings.

Troubleshooting

Pressure is not reducing to the desired level

Ensure the adjustment screw is being turned in the correct direction and verify the gauge reading is not obstructed.

Water leaking at the compression connection

Ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of burrs, then slightly tighten the compression nut further.

Gauge needle is stuck or not responding

Check the gauge port for debris or mineral deposit blockages; clean if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated pressure gauge makes calibration straightforward
  • Suitable for both hot and cold water systems
  • Wide adjustment range allows for granular control
  • Standard 15mm sizing simplifies installation with common plumbing materials

Cons

  • Requires manual calibration for pressures other than the 3 Bar default
  • Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge and tools
  • Gauge may be difficult to read in tight, confined spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure all local building codes are met. 1. Isolate the water supply before cutting into the existing 15mm pipework. 2. Ensure the flow direction arrow on the valve body points in the direction of the water flow. 3. Use standard compression tools to tighten the 15mm nuts onto the pipe ends, taking care not to overtighten. 4. Once installed, slowly open the mains supply and monitor the gauge; adjust the internal spring mechanism to reach your desired bar setting. Maintenance involves periodic inspection of the gauge and ensuring no debris build-up is obstructing the valve seat, especially in hard water areas.
