What Is a Pressure Reducing Valve & Why Does It Matter?

A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is a mechanical device installed on your main water line to control and stabilize the incoming water pressure from your municipal supply. If your water pressure consistently exceeds 80 psi, your home is at risk for:

• Burst pipes
• Appliance failure (dishwashers, water heaters, washing machines)
• Leaking faucets and toilets
• Premature wear on plumbing fixtures
• High water bills

PRVs help regulate your home’s water pressure to safe, efficient levels—usually between 50–60 psi—extending the life of your plumbing and saving you money in the long run.

Call us at (301) 804-6759 today to schedule PRV installation service with one of our licensed and trained technicians.

Signs You May Need a PRV Installed or Replaced

Not sure if you have a PRV—or if it’s working properly? Here are some red flags to look for:

• Banging or vibrating pipes when turning water on/off
• Frequent leaks or dripping faucets
• The toilet fill valves are constantly running
• High water bills with no clear explanation
• Water pressure that feels “too strong” when using fixtures
• Appliances breaking down sooner than expected

If you’re noticing any of these issues, it’s time to call the professionals at Mallick Plumbing & Heating for a pressure evaluation

Our PRV Installation Process

When you trust us with your PRV installation, here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Assessment

We start by testing your water pressure and inspecting your main line. If pressure consistently measures over 80 psi, a PRV is recommended.

2. Customized Recommendations

Not every home is the same. We help determine the proper PRV size and placement based on your plumbing layout and water usage.

3. Professional Installation

Our licensed plumbers install the PRV at the optimal point in your plumbing system, ensuring secure fittings, code compliance, and easy future maintenance.

4. Testing & Calibration

After installation, we test the valve to ensure pressure is stable and consistent across all fixtures and adjust as needed.
