This is in a house built in the 60's. The PRV started spraying water from where it joins together, and a piece inside was broken. It is a Cash Acme EB-72 U. (3/4")
Can i test the water pressure to see if it is even necessary to replace the PRV? Like maybe screw some fittings into the ends of the water pipe, to temporarily hook the water back up so i can test the water pressure with a gauge? If so, what would be the cheapest way to do that?
Here is a picture of the water pipes with the PRV removed:
The only things in the house are a kitchen sink, washer hookup, 1 bathroom (sink, tub/shower), and two hose bibs outside.
