A pressure limiting valve (PLV) reduces mains water pressure entering your property to a safe operating level — typically 500 kPa. This protects tapware, appliances, and plumbing fittings from damage caused by excessive pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my pressure limiting valve has failed in Melbourne?
Signs of a failing PLV include unusually high water pressure, water hammer (banging pipes), a leaking relief valve on your hot water system, rapid tap washer wear, and premature flexi hose failures. Call Sedcon Plumbing on 0468 013 012 for a PLV inspection.
