Not up to industrial standards

Based on my observations, this pressure regulator did not perform as well as expected. While it has a sturdy bronze construction, it simply did not regulate pressure adequately. As an industrial and scientific user, I need equipment that I can rely on and unfortunately, this pressure regulator fell short.

Pros
  • Pro: Sturdy bronze construction
Cons
  • Con: Poor pressure regulation

Waste of money and time

Barbed connection not Pex. I had to search three plumbing and hardware stores to find that you threw away the fitting and the 3/4 Pex fitting is screwed into the interior of this unit. You can't just attach Pex to a fitting. After all this he installed and cannot lower the pressure in the lower part no matter how you turn the knob. You can increase the lower range, but you cannot decrease it. Too much hassle to delete and return

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Requires a special PEX pipe flaring tool for installation.

To fit a clamp to the nipples, a tool is required to open the hose just enough to slide it over the male ends. expensive and hard-to-find one-off work. As stated in the instructions provided - an extra regulator may be required if the water pressure is too high, this was in my case. Incoming 95 pounds was too much for this controller to constantly monitor. After installing the element and putting the old regulator in front of it, it works fine, and it is very convenient to have a pressure gauge

Pros
  • Pressure Gauge and Vacuum Gauge
Cons
  • old
