WCB Pressure Reducing Valve

● The hydraulic control valve is a valve controlled by water pressure, which is generally divided into two types: diaphragm type and piston type, and the working principle of these two are the same.

● Slow opening function, no need traditional man-open or close.

● Automatic operation in the whole process of pipe network operation.

● The promised reliability in any vertical or horizontal installation in the pipeline.

● It consists of a master valve (as shown) and subsidiary conduit, pilot valve, needle valve, ball valve and pressure gauge. According to the purpose, function and location, it can be evolved into a remote control float valve, pressure reducing valve, slow closing check valve, flow control valve, pressure relief valve, and hydraulic electric control valve and so on.

What is a Pressure Reducing Valve?

The genius of pressure reducing valve is that it's set to regulate your water flow to a specific pressure. That means if there is a sudden spike in your area's municipal water pressure, the spring and diaphragm in the valve will tighten and you'll still have a consistent amount of pressure in your home.

Some municipal water mains pump water at extremely high pressures — sometimes well over 100 psi. Local water companies will often crank up the pressure to deliver water to hard-to-reach places like high-rise building or high-elevation neighborhoods.

But water pressure above 80 psi can cause significant wear and tear to your pipes, fixtures and appliances over time. If you have a pressure reducing valve that is over ten years old, you might want to look into replacing it.

How Much Does a Pressure Reducing Valve Cost?

Pressure reducing valves start at around $50. Having a new pressure reducing valve installed by a professional plumber will probably set you back around $350. If you're more of hands-on, DIY-type homeowner, you can purchase a WCB Pressure Reducing Valve and install it yourself. It's quite an involved project, and often requires cutting out a section of your main water line and soldering on the valve.
