ready to install a SDHW
system for a customer and we looked at a number of things regarding his
current
set up. I just posted a question about tankless heaters but I wanted
this query
to be a separate one. The customer’s mains water pressure is 88 psi on
a
Saturday afternoon and some time over the next 18 hours, the pressure
went as
high as 96 psi. I understand that 80 psi is the high end of the safe
range in
general and that 96 psi on a regular basis can/will damage valves and
possibly
trigger T&P valves on water heaters.</span></font></p>

recommendation of a plumber I know
I looked into pressure reducers, specifically the Wilkins/Zurn line.
All the
Wilkins regulators produce zero pressure drop at zero flow. What good
are these
products in protecting plumbing systems from high mains pressures at
night when
pressures tend to be the highest and usage is at a minimum or even zero?</span></font></p>
