A Plumber put similar gauge into my Water Heater Tank and said the PSI is 100, which is high. He said I should replace the PRV (Pressure Reduce Valve) since it has some corrosion. Should I?

Yes, replace that valve. High water pressure can cause damages in faucets, etc.

Depends on how the system was designed. Most household pressures run between 20 and 60 psig with the majority 40 - 60 usually controlled by the well pump. City supplied water usually runs at a higher pressure and a pressure reducing valve is installed to get the correct pressure for the building.

My plumber put a new Pressure Reduce Valve in and my pressure was too low. I asked him to come out and set it higher and he did. 100 PSI could mean your valve is set too high or it could mean you have a bad valve.

Yes, you should replace the pressure reduce regulator ( or valve), it happens to me too, after I changed the valve, I set the pressure on 65 lbs/ sq. inch. now my hot water heater and washer make much less noise then before.

I've never used it at pressures above perhaps 70 psi. The regulator data says it allows you to know (reads up to 120-psi) the hook-up/bib water pressure, and reduce it to a safe 40-50 psi pressure which is within spec for most RV's. Sorry I can't tell you more; not much data available on-line either. I'm happy with my relatively standard use, if that means anything......

The gauge only goes to 120psi, so to go to 80 t0 100 is possible but why I wonder? I use mine on a RV and the plastic pipes would burst at 80 to 100psi even if any water supplier would pump water at that pressure except in 6inch pipes.

34 psi on your filter pressure gauge sounds way too high. Esp. since you say it was 10-12 last season, which sounds like a normal reading. I'd say your problem is that your filter is very very dirty, or you have something blocking the pipes (or both). I used to have to push a hose into the skimmer intake, forcing water to the pump, to clear the pipe.

No, the tank is not designed for in-line plumbed installation under pressure, per manufacturer's documentation. And I don't think the spigot fittings could handle the additional pressure, as there is already significant pressure from gravity on the large volume column of water. When the tank is full, the spigot pressure from gravity already feels like 60-80 psi or more. Not sure what that would do, hooked up to your household plumbing. Could potentially back-feed the public water supply if the pressure got low enough on the main line?

I would get a 0-30 psi gauge. It would be more accurate for a low pressure reading.

This tube has a rubber schrader valve, NOT metal like the pesta valves. The box had no info on the PSI limits. Lincster

I believe this is ok for such gauges. I am using another model but for co2 injection in aquariums and I get max 60 psi. But I am sure you don't need such pressure if you use it for beer only. Thus I believe your gauge is ok

My water pressure is high as well. The hose should work for you. Owned for couple years and it appears to be indestructible. This particular hose was recommended to me prior to purchasing. Glad I listened, don't believe I will ever have to replace.

I would double check on that pressure gauge because the newer Colorado's do not have Boston valves. If it is the one that I looked up on Amazon, judging by the pictures, it does not seem to have the right adapters for the newer valves and seems to be set up for Boston Valves.

I know what it is rated as but I only take it to 90 PSI. I use it for little jobs when I don't want to hall my 100 ft of compressor hose with quick connects. Also got rid of their hose and bought a short compressor hose with correct fittings for connection to tank and a quick connect to connect my other air tools. This unit like the rest has only a tire filling fitting. With those changes it does the job. I think the company would be smart giving a better hose choice for a few pennies more. Good Luck!

I ran mine at 90 psi with a 150psi tank. Fired fine until tank pressure got below 40psi.

I didn't have problems with mine. I normally run 90 psi and I don't think my depth was maxed. If your running a long line or small hose you might be starving the gun.

I have no experience with high pressure. I just know this is the best hose I've ever bought and it seems like it will last forever.

You have everything you need ,but doesn't have gauge to tell you pressure. Found out my unit was converted so put 134a in and is cold now. If you don't have to use adaptor it has been converted. So really only needed to spend $10.00. Check to see if its been converted.Buy 134a if hose fits its been converted

That spec sounds about right as that's the purpose of its regulator - to reduce that original pressure to a more manageable one, since, a full 3000 PSI would blow out the internals of your gun/marker. In reality, 800-900 PSI is the operating pressure of most "high pressure" guns while that range is reduced even further (around 100-200 PSI) through the use of additional in-line regulators and high volume internals on their low-pressure counterparts. So, essentially, you should be good with this one. Also, since it's rated for 4500 PSI, you'll average even more shots per fill (due to increased energy density). Hope that helps.

Can't answer that but the gauge did not work on two different tanks that we tried to use it on. Maybe you doneed another piece, but we put it between the hose and the tank. It did not register empty when the tank was empty. When I wentto fill my propane tank it was ten years old and they made me buy a new one that came with a gauge (that works).
