Pressure Reducing Valve Replacement in East Hampton, CT

A new service line can bring more pressure into the house than the old, scaled one did. That is good up to a point. Above 80 psi, faucets bang, toilet fill valves wear quickly, and new pipe joints take more stress than they should. The plumbing codes generally call for a pressure reducing valve when street pressure is higher than 80 psi.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects East Hampton, CT homeowners with plumbers who install and replace pressure reducing valves. The valve goes on the main line just after the shutoff, and it is usually set somewhere around 50 to 60 psi.

PRVs wear out. Signs include pressure that creeps up overnight, a relief valve on the water heater that drips, and a humming or chattering sound at the main. A gauge on a hose bib tells the story in a minute.

It makes sense to replace the PRV during a water line replacement or repipe. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Pressure Reducing Valve Replacement in East Hampton, CT.

Talk to a person
How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in East Hampton, CT?
Look for a wet patch in the yard that never dries, a meter that moves with every fixture closed, low pressure at the hose bib, or rusty water. If the line is galvanized, lead or polybutylene, replacement usually beats repair.
How can I tell if I have polybutylene pipe?
Polybutylene is flexible gray or blue plastic, often stamped PB2110, found in many homes built from about 1978 to 1995. Check near the water heater, under sinks and where the main enters the house.
How do I check for a lead service line?
Find the pipe where it enters the house near the meter or main valve. Lead is dull gray, soft, scratches to shiny silver with a key, and a magnet will not stick. Your water utility may also have a record of your line material.
Who owns the water line between the street and my house?
In most areas the utility owns the line up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns the rest. Rules vary by city, so it is worth asking your water department.
What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipe?
Pinholes usually come from pitting corrosion caused by water chemistry, such as low pH or high chlorine or chloramine, or by high flow speed in small pipe. Repeat pinholes mean the whole run is thinning.
