It is important to size a pressure reduction valve (PRV) to suit the flow rate that passes through it. You should not necessarily match the inlet pipe size as this can lead to over-sizing of the PRV and oversizing the PRV has adverse effects on the system such as causing undesired noise and also damaging the PRV seal.

Whilst this cost does not always get repaid by the engineer, the price is paid in a damaged relationship.
Our mission is to reduce this percentage. We believe defects from the design phase should not be accepted as an industry standard.
