Great video. Just made me realize to not try this at home 🤣 mine is under house, 2’ crawl space, up against the first floor support joists, and it’s been leaking for a while and very wet in crawl space 😳

[@dalvinarei]

Very informative. Thanks for sharing 😊

I'm curious - if a $20ish water pressure gauge could be installed downstream of the PRV permanently, why would you not do that? Wouldn't such a permanently-placed gauge help identify a PRV that begins to go bad, or help troubleshoot any water hammer issues?

Great hand movement 😂🎉

[@petatube]

And what would be the permanent water pressure gauge of choice - a dry one or a glycerin (or silicone oil?!) filled one? Would the lifetime/accuracy of the gauge be prolonged if sat off of a ball valve, so that it was not continuously exposed to water flow?

So many plumbers do not know the hottest point of the torch flame.

if it’s 3/4 why do you need a 1” prv… your going back to 3/4 anyways…
