I put in a new pressure reducing valve because the old on was going bad (2 weeks ago). When the water is being used during the day, it stays between 50 and 60psi. I left my pressure gauge on the supply line over a couple of days and at some point it reached 140 psi. On the cold water side, I have an expansion tank set at 52 psi. The water company put a new meter outside two months ago. The outside pressure is 140psi. The pressure reducing value is factory set to 50psi
1) Could the new pressure release valve be bad?
2) Could my expansion tank be bad? It is reading 52 psi
3) Should I put an expansion tank on the hot side too?
4) Should I put another pressure release value after the current one that is in.
Thanks for your input.
