Hi all,

I am doing some of the initial plumbing for a new understairs toilet to go in and finally plumbing in my american style fridge freezer. I plan to take a cold feed the 22mm mains that comes into the house and runs through my first floor ceiling cavity. I am comfortable turning off the mains etc. I wanted to ask if I should consider putting a pressure reducing valve when I tee off from the 22mm as I have very high mains pressure and I wanted to reduce the noise of the toilet cistern filling up through the pipes. I'm planning to run a 15mm from the 22mm and then tee off to the fridge freezer before it feeds the toilet.

I'd appreciate any comments or advice on this approach.

You need to know what the pressure is before deciding whether it needs reduced or not, anything below 3 then I wouldn't worry about it. Modern Toilet fill valves have removeable inserts that delay start/reduce flow & pressure when the mains pressure is high, not sure if yours will have that or not. Worth checking.
