Reducing insert
- Thread starter Fallout
- Start date
If you're talking about the spiral type insert then it's actually a regulator rather than a reducer and it's there to reduce/eliminate flow noise and/or hammer. The insert smooths the water flow into and out of the valve so if it gets to noisy filling or there's water hammer when the valve closes then fit the regulator.
1. If its mains fed, I fit them.
2. If its tank fed then if:
2.1 Tank is one or two storeys above I don't fit them
2.2 Tank more than two storeys above, then I fit them.
3. Roughly equates to > 0.75 bar - fit, <= 0.75 bar - don't fit.
