Why Should I Use a Water Pressure-Reducing Valve?
- Helps stabilize inlet pressure to under-sink filters and other point-of-use equipment
- Reduces stress on tubing, fittings, and housings caused by pressure spikes
- Quick-connect ends simplify installation with 3/8-inch tubing
Common Uses
- Inline under-sink filtration systems
- Point of use water equipment where consistent pressure is needed
Installation
- Confirm your incoming pressure does not exceed the maximum rating of 230 PSI
- Cut tubing square, push fully into the quick-connect fittings, then pull gently to confirm it is locked in place
- If your setup uses a mounting clip, select the matching clip since it is sold separately
