Hi there. Can anyone tell me how the "Precision Plumbing Products P1-500 Automatic Trap Primer Valve" works?
Specifically:
1) From what I have gleaned off the Internet, it appears as though it is supposed to drip or spray a small amount of water every time the water pressure drops ~10 psi. Have I sussed this correctly, or am I off base?
2) Can anyone explain what the adjustment screw on the side of the valve actually does (does it adjust the pressure drop amount that activates it, or does it adjust the amount of water that it sends out each time it activates, or something else entirely)?
3) Is it supposed to spray water each time it activates, or just drip a bit?
4) Can any one explain how it's internal workings work (this last question is just plain curiosity on my part)?
Thanks in advance.
