What is the recommended water pressure range for this valve?
1312964
DH recommends 35 psi to a maximum of 80 psi.Pretty much any standard house hold water pressure should work.

i installed the unit the day i recieved it. its been working well , i expect to order 2 more just to havesome as a back up cant beat price, easy to install-thx

i have not check the city pressure recenrly , but i figure its between 35-45 psi, if your pressuredrops below 36 psi some low flow toilets will not work properly

That depends upon water pressure; about 80psi is about right...nuf said. And what is a restrictor?

Thx for all the answers to my question "Can you tell me what the max flow rating is on this valve in GPM? Thx." For the record it looks like Christine was the closest correct response overall. Valterra finally responded and said the valve is calculated for 14-15 gpm at the preset 45 psi. This sounds to me like a very high fps calc but at Christina pointed out this is under optimum conditions so I say take it with a grain of salt. Most ½ valves will be limited in real world to app 7-8 gpm and 5/8 to app 10-12 gpm IMO. A good comparison would be with Watts regulators also. Thx again to all.

Original switch rusted, store had on off switches 20/40 30/50 40/60. Our well was about 150 feet deep and we selected a 30/50 and a new pressure gauge,it works fine. We emptied our blue water tank with bladder and with tire pump pressurized tank with air to two pounds below our on number (30-2=28) I do not know max pressure of pump is but very deep we'll would may not reach a high pressure shut off pressure. If you want or need to go up or down but new switch and repressurize empty tank on pressure minus two. Switch about $30

Make sure it's nice and tight and that you have the water pressure at the appropriate level. I've used it a few times now and it's worked to an acceptable level.

a normal range of pressure running through sprinkler systems is up to 90 psi, I would not recommend more then that, unless you have a lot of sprinklers on one valve. Like 8-10 high volume sprinkler heads.

The bottom line is going to be water pressure. I use it with a booster pump

It doesn't say on the box, but I run mine at normal well pressure of 40 - 60psi.

Not quite sure as the valve has never been a problem. I have had problems with the lid releasing pressure around the perimeter since I've owned it. Sent it back once now the company wants nothing to do with it. Sorry! Rjl

We havent had any problems with standard model ,but I'm guessing your water pressure setting would make it a problen if turned up too high.

It is very adequate. You probably need good pressure on the input side for this to work well. we had no issues with water pressure.

I would not worry. 400 or 600 you will not need that high of pressure under normal use. My guess would be if the gauge says 600 then its 600

I don't know the max pressure but anything under 100 psi should be OK. The readout will read up to 999 gallons.

With city water I would think you should get closer to 10 gpm. We are running 6 with #3 nozzles with only 5gpm. We have plenty of pressure with that.

Not sure - our water pressure was approximately 70 psi and it works great. I believe the specs state that you must have, at a minimum, 50 psi. 35 psi sounds a little on the low side and would probably not work (of if it did, it probably wouldn't work very well).

The water pressure is good, will be close to the actual pressure that you have with maybe a little bit of improvement. nothing noticeable for me.

Very good pressure. Depends on water pressure in your house, but mine is moderate and the spray is better than the one I replaced.
