Hey guys!
I'm about to install the thermal expansion tank (Watts DET-12-M1) this weekend. Last week my plumber replaced the 20 year old PRV. The pressure on the lines before we replaced it was about 75 - 80 psi
With the new PRV the pressure is around 50 -55 psi. I'd like to increase the pressure. Based on the installation sheet, it is basically loosening the lock nut and turning the bolt clockwise (in). It is a Wilkins #70.
What is a good household pressure to use? I was thinking about 60 - 65 psi. Are there any adverse issues with increasing the pressure that much?
Thanks, Mike
