I have a watts 25aub installed which should be about 6 years old which is the age of the house. I am currently experiencing my prv on my hot water heater leaking at times so in looking into this I discovered that in checking my pressure that I am 120 psi on both sides of the regulator. The adjustment screw is sticking out of the regulator about 1 1/2 to 2 inches already which from what I understand is that you go counter clockwise, loosen, this screw to decrease pressure. A couple of questions:
Can it be adjusted so far out that the mechanism counter acts itself and needs to be adjusted back in for proper function?
How far out does this adjustment screw come out(How much more adjustment room is there)?
Or is this just a bad reguator that needs to be replaced?
Thanks for your help
