Hi all, new to the forum, hoping to get some expert advice.
Have lived in my house for a little over a year. Water pressure seemed too high (have replaced a number of faucets/valves, water sprays out hard), so I bought a gauge to test. Sure enough, it is reading ~84 psi. So I went looking for my pressure regulator. Between the house and the meter, I found a 4 inch piece of vertical PVC in the ground. I removed the plastic cover, and about 12 inches down, there is a red handle, like for an outdoor spigot. This is inline with the supply coming into the house. I have looked in my crawlspace, and have not seen the any other valves/regulators in the line.
Is this the pressure regulator? It doesn't look like what I have seen online. If it is, is it still clockwise to increase, counter to decrease?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
