The main Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) can typically be anywhere between the City Water shutoff valve by your water meter (if external) and the first "tee" in the water supply system. Though quite often it is near the main building shutoff valve inside the home.
Some fixtures or appliances have their own PRV, like a hydronic heating system.
What else can I help you with?
Can a ball valve be used to throttle flow?
no it can't , valves you can use are a prv pressure reducing valve or a globe or flow valve
What is difference between PSV to PRV?
PSV stands for Pressure Safety Valve, which is designed to release excess pressure in a system to prevent overpressure. PRV stands for Pressure Reducing Valve, which is used to lower the pressure of a fluid in a system to a desired level. PSV protects against high pressure while PRV controls pressure within a specific range.
How can you tell if a pressure reducing valve is defective?
If your pressure exceeds the setting of the PRV or is below the setting
Where is the small black round tap feeding the hot water tank?
Hot water tank? On a water heater tank there is always a extra black plug in case you need to change your way of installing the pipes to it. The plug on most electric water heaters are opposite of your PRV valve (pressure relief valve) so if your PRV valve is on top then your plug will be on the side and if your PRV is on the side then your plug will be on top of the water heater if its electric.

What is prv in swine?
PRV in swine is Pseudorabies Vaccine.
Where would a water regulating valve that is controlling head pressure be installed?
The PRV is usually fitted where the incoming water supply enters a building.
Can you hook up and rely on the Temperature Pressure Relief valve for a new electric hot water heater to a drain or do you really need an expansion tank?
Depends on your code. If you have a PRV or, as you would say, pressure reducing valve on your water supply to your house, you need an expansion tank. If your pressure is above 80 psi, you need a PRV AND an expansion tank.
What is the top part of a gas cylinder called?
Depending on who is asking and the type of cylinder, w/ or w/out PRV and location of the PRV, acceptable answers: Neck, Primary Manifold Access, Inlet/Outlet, Breach Point, Secondary Valve Access. Charging Access Point
What is the significance of PRV in plumbing systems?
PRV, or pressure reducing valve, is important in plumbing systems because it helps regulate and control the water pressure entering a building. This is crucial to prevent damage to pipes, fixtures, and appliances, as well as ensuring a consistent and safe water flow throughout the building.
