Pressure reducing valve - Trevi Boast

[wolfboy]

The instructions for the Boast, (I have ordered it now, no going back)
state that mains pressure must be between 1 and 3 Bar. I had my pressure tested at the water meter and it's 8 Bar! I will have to fit a PRV, but knno nothing about them.

Are they best fitted directly after Stop Cock?
Should I look out for any particular make?
Anything I should know or look out for.
How much should I expect to pay?

Can be sited where you like, but if you fit it after the stop cock then it will balance the entire hot & cold domestic taps.

inline strainer, gets all the dirt debris in the water, but make sure u service the strainer every few months or so,prevents debris & dirt get to the prv and any other valves after it

How would it effect the hot water, when all hot feeds come from come only indirectly from the mains ?

Not if they are fed from a cold tank in the loft. If off a combi then yes.

Back to the strainer. Is this something I need to buy separately, or is it part of the PRV?

 

[jay1]

you will have to buy it seperatly
