This is a caompanion thread to my optimal PSI thread.
I think my valve is dead. It now reduces the preasure down to 25. is this concistent with a failed valve, or do they stop decreasing the preasure when they fail? I did try and tighten the adjustment screw, but it did not have any affect. This leads me to believe it broke.
I am going to replace or rebuild my watts U5B preasure reducing valve.
The question is if it is worth repairing it. Am I better off just buying a new one?
I would replace an older U5B (the part numbner is 135B1M3) with one of the new U5BZ3. If anyone has a suggestion as to a valve that is better let me know.
Thanks in advance for the help.
