Why We Need to Maintain a Pressure Control Valve at Home
The plumbing system consists of numerous parts and crossing points even before it reaches our home. Did you know that a pressure control valve can help maintain the life of your plumbing fixtures? Every home is designed to have a plumbing and sanitary system. It is considered as a vital system in any structure for it delivers water and then segregates fluid waste matters.
The plumbing system has a colourful history. It originated in ancient civilisations like Rome, Greece, Persia, and in some old cities in China, sometime in 300 BC. They used aqueducts to relay water from its natural source and deliver it in metropolis to be distributed to the people equally. Fortunately, with today’s modern technology, the state-of-the-art plumbing systems in our homes make it convenient for us to have a source of water straight to our bathroom faucets.
Unlike the standard plumbing system found in old houses, modern high rise buildings and contemporary homes are now acquiring another method of fluid delivery. Before water infiltrates our home pipes, it has to pass plumbing checkpoints:
- Pressure Control Valve
- Gate Valve
- Water Meter
- Flow Control Valve
- Air Valve
Importance of Maintaining the Pressure Control Valve
Old home models may only have at least two plumbing checkpoints – the gate valve and the water meter. But in the latest home designs, it has to pass four main parts. The primary point is the pressure control valve (PCV), or also known as the pressure reducing valve (PRV). The initial entry of water passes through the PCV and it acts as a tool that controls or regulates the flow of water. It helps reduce the outflow of water into the system.
That constant banging of the pipes is a reminder that the pressure of water flow is high. And is left unrepaired could lead to many serious plumbing issues like leaky faucets, low pressure or high pressure of water flow, and could even result in busted pipes.
