We have very high cold water pressure at our location which was OK when we had an electrically heated shower. However, we decided to save money and use our hot water system to supply a thermostatic shower to use gas heated water, of which we had plenty. With such a high water cold water pressure we could not get a balance to make the shower usable. Researching this problem a pressure regulator was suggested as an option. I purchased this product in an attempt to save costly plumbing work which would have meant running a cold water supply from the header tank in the loft. The valve was easy to fit and adjust. We now have cheaper hot water with a shower that is easy to adjust with a powerful spray. Would definitely recommend.

Bought to reduce cold water mains pressure from 2.5 bar to 0.7 bar to better match the 0.2bar gravity fed hot shower. This will hopefully make it easier to adjust the temperature on our manual control. We may put in a thermostat controlled shower later. It’s probably important to read the instructions online to avoid cavitation, though it didn’t say whether the cavitation would cause erosion, noise or both. Ie if you want to have a greater drop in pressure eg 3 bar to 0.5 bar you might need two valves in series.

For me, this was the perfect choice. I was looking for a P R V that would fit 15mm copper and this P R V was dedicated to this size, some have reducers to come down from 22mm which I have read that some people have had issues with. I also require a very low outlet pressure and this one will reduce to 0.5 bar when many I looked at were only capable of 1.0 bar. It is also well balanced in it's design.

Perfect for my home made reducing system for touring caravan.The 15mm outlets make easy connection to hoses, plus the low scale gauge i can reduce water pressure down to 0.5 bar

I like fact it is specifically for 15mm pipe, rather than reducing from 22mm. Would have liked written details on how it works and how to adjust. Works well.
