What is the Highest psi water pressure allowed in a residental home?
Deck
I just had a 14-year-old PRV valve replaced due to outside leaking ($800!!!) and the plumber set the psi at 60, which now takes twice as long to shower! He said legally he can only set it to 60 psi. I live in Ft. Worth, TX, and can not find any info on max allowed psi. It was at 80, which worked just fine.
Answer
A few things:
a) A PRV sets the *standing pressure*, not the operating pressure - unless the system is capable of providing pressure in excess of the set pressure at full flow - so unless you have a rather large water-service from a very high-pressure main - this is unlikely.
b) 80psi is very high for a standing pressure - high enough to damage tank-type water heaters, tempering valves, solenoid valves (washer, dishwasher, irrigation systems) and ball-cocks (toilets) and/or greatly shorten their operating lives. Keep this in mind before you raise your standing pressure.
c) If you have a code-compliant shower-head it has a flow-restricter on it anyway that limits the amount of flow irrespective of pressure. There will be no more/less water coming from the head at 60psi than 80psi. If you do not have a compliant shower-head, you should.
So, you may have another problem such as debris in the line that came loose when the PRV was replaced, or the curb-stop may not have been fully opened when the work was complete (or another valve in the system) or similar. Try removing the shower-head and cleaning out the flow-restrictor or checking the valves in the system.
Good luck with it.
