I live just shy of 1/4 mile from my county water meter.  I need to put a prv on the line.  Where should I put it?  After the meter or at the house after the cut off?  Does the distance being so great make a difference?  Thanks

Hi Fishman
 
The PRV goes right after the meter.  Here, the idea is to reduce pressure to the fixtures in the home (reduces wear/tear).  Distance should not factor into the equation... ;)

After meter and the main S/O valve to the house, open the link and watch the YouTube, good luck.
