A pressure regulating valve is an essential part of any home plumbing installation, protecting your pipes and appliances from pressure surges in the water or gas supply. The water pressure-reducing valve range at Ace features components suitable for both home and commercial use, with a wide range of pressure ratings, materials and end-point designs to ensure a perfect fit.

Do You Need A Water Pressure Reducing Valve?

Water in an urban area is typically supplied at a high pressure to ensure it can reach into tall buildings, remote areas, and other difficult destinations. In many cases, the pressure is higher than the typical maximum ratings of pipes, heaters, and other parts of a plumbing installation, which can risk leaks and other damage.

What's more, the water pressure isn't always consistent and can rise and fall depending on how much water is being used across an area. A water pressure-reducing valve solves both these problems by keeping the water at a safe and constant pressure that's within your plumbing system's ideal range.

Additional Benefits of a Water Pressure Regulating Valve

Regulator valves have other benefits besides the safety of maintaining a steady pressure. Turning down the valve can reduce water consumption by up to a third, helping to save money if you're on a metered connection. Lower water pressure can make heaters and boilers work more efficiently, saving on energy bills, while also reducing the amount of noise produced in your plumbing.

What’s more, fitting a pressure regulating valve at the lower level of a building leaves plenty of pressure in reserve to help the water reach the higher floors, which is important in multi-occupant buildings.

Pressure Regulator or Pressure Relief Valve?

Pressure regulators and relief valves are closely related but not the same thing. A pressure regulating valve reduces the pressure in a mains supply to a safe level, while relief valves offer an easy way for excess pressure to escape in an emergency. Most often, surges of water pressure are directed safely into the drain system before they can damage your HVAC system or pipework.

Pressure Relief Valve PSI Ratings

To ensure your pressure relief valve can withstand the everyday pressures of your water system, it's important to choose the right maximum pressure rating. Our range includes PSI ratings for small and large applications, providing a valve option for every installation.

Air Admittance Valves, Gas Control Valves and More

To round out our valves and plumbing department, we also carry a wide range of other valve types to suit different areas of your installation, including:

  • Air admittance valves to keep drain lines flowing freely and efficiently while trapping odors.
  • Gas control valves to regulate the supply to heaters and other gas appliances.
  • Ball valves and shut off valves for safely isolating parts of a plumbing system.

Ace also carries a range of valve parts and accessories including handles, caps, keys, rebuild kits and couplings to help you complete your home plumbing task with the exact components you need. Stop by your local Ace Hardware store or shop online to find whatever you may need for your next home improvement project.
