Pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure of fluid upto a predetermined pressure in this case downstream pressure will be obviously lower than upstream pressure but in case of pressure regulating valve it will regulate the pressure( either increase or decrease) depending on the requirement of system at that time.

A regulator can adjust the pressure setting and a reducing valve is much more restrictive in its settings think of an Oxygen gauge compared to a hydronic boiler feeder
