To install a pressure reducing valve, first turn off the water supply. Then, cut the pipe where the valve will be installed and remove any debris. Attach the valve to the pipe using appropriate fittings and secure it in place. Finally, turn the water supply back on and adjust the valve to the desired pressure level.
The easiest way is to install two pressure gauges (If reducing pressure) either side of the reducing valve, you will then have indication of upstream pressure and down stream pressure, of which you can adjust to suit you process.
Install a pressure reducing valve
Is the pressure reducing valve leaking in your system?
pressure relief valve relief the excess pressure which is developed in the syatem, while pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure and supply it to the system.
If you'd prefer lower pressure than 80, install a pressure reducing valve and set it down to desired pressure.
Symptoms of pressure reducing valve failure include fluctuating water pressure, water hammer noises, leaks, and reduced water flow.
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.
The key steps to consider during pressure reducing valve installation are selecting the right valve size, ensuring proper orientation and alignment, connecting the valve to the system, adjusting the pressure setting, and testing the valve for proper functioning.
Codes vary, check max. press. allowed in home, if press. higher than allowed by code coming into home, than install pressure red. valve.

With a pressure booster pump or a Pressure reducing valve
nothing, its just terminology why A pressure relief valve is a safety device to prevent over pressure in such things as compressor receivers. A pressure reducing valve drops the pressure to the requirements of the user or tool. Such as a demand valve on scuba gear.
