Yet Another water pressure question:
What is the "proper" water pressure for a single family, or any, house considered to be?
How does one measure water pressure? I saw a gauge for about $9 (at the local big blue box) that looked like it had threads matching a hose bib. Would this be a good investment? Nine bucks for an accurate gauge seems awful low to me.
Reason I'm asking is because I just installed an icemaker setup for my basement bar, which will connect to an icemaker in a fridge. When I opened the valve to bleed the air and check for leaks, I was amazed at the amount of pressure of the water.
This would eventually connect to a 1/4" soft copper line to the fridge. If pressure is not regulated, can this cause problems with the icemaker or fridge?
