What is Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Installation?
A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is a device installed on your home’s water supply line that regulates and lowers the incoming water pressure from the main municipal supply to a safe, consistent level for your plumbing system. High water pressure can damage pipes, fixtures, appliances, and lead to leaks or premature wear, while a PRV helps protect your home and improve water efficiency.
