A pressure-reducing valve serves two main functions. Firstly, they reduce the incoming water pressure from the mains, so your home system has reduced pressure, stopping wear and tear and potential damage to your pipes.
Secondly, they help set a constant pressure for the pipes, ensuring your home appliances operate with safe and moderate water pressure.
Reece has leading brands such as Zurn Wilkins and Tomson valves. Most are set at 500 kPa, some can be adjusted, and we have valves to fit different pipe sizes.
Of course, a Pressure Reducing Valve is only one part of a complete plumbing kit. While it protects you from water surges and pressure from the mains, we have other equipment to help protect your plumbing and pipes around the house or office.
Tempering Valves ensure consistent temperatures inside your home, preventing nasty scalding when turning on your taps. Further protection from scalding water or other water surge issues, Thermostatic Mixing Valves are most often used in aged care facilities, or homes with vulnerable people. They set a temperature, mixing hot and cold water just right.
Dual Check Valves protect from the backflow of water into the system, such as greywater into the laundry.
