Pressure Reducing Valve

Works as designed, at a great price, well below others like this. I installed it just before my booster pump as required and it controls the amount of pressure into the booster pump.

No instructions included but it's easy enough to figure out.. The big problem it leaked at all connection points no matter how well I sealed it up and/or how much I tighten it down. Absolutely the worse component I've ever used in plumbing. Total waste of my time and money.

The pressure gauge reads the post value pressure, and not the valve pressure setting itself. That makes it perfect for a closed system like a house which has a constant pressure when all valves are closed, but not great for irrigation system as an example where the sprinkler heads all are pass through.

I've given this product 3 stars. The truth is that I was being cheap and this product met my needs. I'm in a situation where I was able to babysit this thing and get it to stop leaking. I gave up my time to save the $$ for a nonleaky item. I should have spent the money for the better product. Bottom Line: This thing will leak. You can tighten it only so much. You can thread tape and seal it only so much. After installing and removing and reinstalling about 5 times I finally settled on a solution for me. I used thread tape with a brush on thread seal on the threads. I then tightened the threads as much as I was physically able. I then over the course of a month applied the thread seal as needed to where the water came out. It's not leaking now. But I still have a bucket under it and I still check it once a week. Best,

Junk so thin metal unusable did not work

Cumple con lo prometido

As others have stated no amount of tightening will keep this from leaking. Teflon tape , Blue Magic pipe dope it doesn’t matter it’s the design of the fitting. This valve is ultimately useless! I’ve done plumbing for over 20 years . China Got me again !

This leaked when installed. Threads were not capable of sealing. Chinese junk. Had to go to supply house and by one. Used Teflon tape. Tried plumbers paste. nothing worked. Not heavy enough to be a boat anchor.

Leaks and nothing but trouble

Regula bien la presión, tengo 120 libras en la toma de la red y mantiene bien la presión a 25 libras a la salida, el roscado es apto para México, hay que aplicar un poco de teflon para un buen sello aun en PVC. funciona bien en las condiciones que lo uso con 6 servicios

Es muy funcional pero viene muy reducido el flujo de agua.

Que si es complicado establecer el nivel de presión, pero funciona.

Pésimo! No sirve! Ni una estrella se merece No controla bien la presión, reduce mucho el flujo y no sella bien mucho trabajo para nada
