A PRV is the acronym of a Pressure Reducing Valve. Every house connected to a City water supply will have one of these installed in the main incoming water pipe on your side of the meter. The purpose is to reduce the pressure from street pressure which can be 80-100 PSI, to a pressure compatible with household pipes and fittings. Generally 50-70 PSI is desired in a house. The standard PRV comes pre-set at 50 or 70 PSI and can easily be adjusted about 15 PSI each way. This is a bell shaped device usually fitted near your main water shutoff valve and always has instructions tagged to it explaining adjustments.
