The Dial Adjustable PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) 315I is a versatile and essential component designed to regulate and maintain water pressure within plumbing and heating systems. With a large 28mm compression fitting, this valve is ideal for larger domestic systems or light commercial installations where high flow capacity is required. This model allows pressure adjustment between 1.5 and 6 bar, making it suitable for a wide range of setups depending on your system’s requirements. The easy-to-use dial means you can fine-tune the pressure with precision—helping protect pipes, appliances, and fixtures from pressure-related damage while ensuring optimal system performance. Fitted with robust 28mm compression ends, the PRV 315I offers a secure, solder-free connection to copper pipework. Installation is quick and clean, requiring only standard spanners to tighten the fittings—ideal for professionals looking to save time on-site or for those completing high-capacity domestic installations. Made from high-quality materials, this pressure-reducing valve is built to last, even under continuous use. It’s an excellent solution for maintaining safe and stable pressure levels in larger heating or potable water systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this PRV do in a plumbing system?
It regulates and stabilises water pressure entering the system. By reducing incoming pressure, it helps prevent damage to pipework, boilers, taps, and other appliances caused by excessively high pressure.
Is the pressure setting adjustable?
Yes, the dial allows you to easily adjust the outlet pressure from 1.5 to 6 bar, giving you full control based on the needs of your particular installation.
Do I need to solder the valve during installation?
No soldering is required. The valve is designed with 28mm compression ends, so you only need to tighten the fittings with a spanner for a strong, watertight connection. It's a straightforward install for most plumbing setups.
