Questions & Answers
The maximum inlet pressure for this pressure regulator is 105 PSI. It can take any inlet water pressure between 105 and 26 PSI and reduce it to 25 PSI. It won't regulate flows below 25 PSI, which is the default operating pressure. Thank you for contacting me; I hope this information is useful.
Mine is versatile enough to be used in both directions. One is directly connected to my faucet, lowering the pressure on my timer and everything else. The other one, which is connected to my drip system just before the dripper lines themselves (beyond the timer and hose feeder), is connected to my drip system. Due to a lack of space at the faucet, this is necessary.
If the incoming pressure is 25 psi or higher, the output pressure to your emitters should also be 25 psi. It would then be up to your emitters from there. The number of people, the flow rate, and other factors should all be considered. I'm not sure if this regulator reduces your volume or not. At least, that's what I'd say. It would not be possible with a flow rate of 5 gpm.
This pressure regulator has a hose thread on both ends, so it can be screwed into any standard outdoor faucet or garden hose without the use of an adapter. I hope you found this information to be useful. Please contact us if you have any additional questions.

I've already endured two other dreadful black-and-white movies. Big-box stores sell plastic pressure regulators. Both had a weep hole that appeared to be leaking more water than my drip system. I decided to get this because I was tired of wasting water. I haven't had it long, but it doesn't leak and feels like a high-quality item, weighing at least three times as much as the cheapies. Moreover, when properly tightened, the threads do not deform or begin to strip. br>br>Ask yourself if saving $10 in the short term is worth the hassle of wasting water and having to buy new ones all the time.
Our local cooperative provides excellent water pressure, which is both a blessing and a curse. I went outside to investigate after hearing water spraying outside my home. My drip irrigation system's fittings had blown apart after only 6 months of use. It's a good thing I was home and able to turn off the water, because otherwise a lot of water would have been wasted and a hefty water bill would have resulted. br>br>I was looking for a pressure reducing valve and came across this. The reviews were positive, and the specifications appeared to indicate that this was a well-built device. br>It was received and installed, and I am pleased with it. It reduces the pressure from 80 to 25 PSI, so I don't have to worry about flooding. br>br>The unit is well-made and should last for a long time; it is a good buy.
These pressure regulators are ideal for anyone who wants to add a simple drip irrigation or soaker hose to a flower bed without having to worry about installing underground plumbing or ensuring that soaker hoses don't burst due to excessive pressure. br>br>By far the quietest pressure regulator I've encountered. When the input pressure changes, some regulators vibrate or buzz, but these are nice and quiet regardless of the input pressure. br>br>The use of hose adapters and Teflon tape on pipe connections is no longer necessary thanks to simple garden hose input and output threads. To use these, simply get some soaker hose or bulk soaker hose and connect it to a female garden hose end. Connect your garden hose to the soaker hose with the pressure regulator.
I used to use the pressure regulators with the hole on the side that you can get at the big box stores. These are much less durable and are prone to breaking if over-tightened. When the drip system is running, water frequently leaks out the hole on the side. It irritates me a great deal. I finally decided to replace all three of them with these, and they are fantastic! There are no water leaks (there isn't a hole on the side), and the plastic is much thicker and stronger, with fewer cracks. I would strongly advise you to spend the extra money on these rather than the low-cost ones available at box stores.
I believe that the majority of them were RainTree or a similar brand. As soon as we connected them, they all started leaking water! I was fed up with returning one and receiving another with the same leaking issue! This time, I placed an order for these and connected it. NO LEAKS! Just think about it!.
I'm using the regulator to regulate the water pressure in my garden's soaker irrigation system. My garden is in raised beds, and it dries out quickly. This regulator easily attaches to my outdoor faucet as well as the garden hose that connects to the irrigation system. It appears to be well made and sturdy, despite the fact that I have only recently received it. It appears to be ideal for my requirements.
Both of my soaker hoses developed leaks that were larger than the intended size. On September 8, 2020, I turned off the water, timers, and pressure regulators. I decided to measure the water pressure as it passed through the regulators. I tested the pressure at the faucet with and without the pressure regulator using a water pressure gauge. When I checked the pressure gauge on both regulators, there was no drop in pressure. Of course, it's past the return deadline, so I've squandered my funds. I never checked them after installing them, so I have no idea if they ever worked.
I've purchased a number of pressure regulators from a competitor over the years, and they've all proven to be extremely difficult to install without leaking. The competitor appears to be intended for use on hose bibs rather than the end of a hose (thread length is different). br>br>I finally bought one to try, and it went on leak-free the first time, with no effort; I now have six of them installed, and they all work great. It appears to be a "true" pressure regulator as well.
