Outside tap pressure too high
Hi everyone, I've been in my new place for two years now, and my outside tap pressure is too high. I purchased a psi gauge, but it only reads to 100 psi maximum. When I hooked it up to my outside tap it buried the needle on the gauge. I looked underneath the house and there is a prv to the line going inside, but not to the outside line. I believe street pressure is 120 psi, so that would explain the endless amount of garden hoses that have burst. Shy of installing a prv on the line going to the outside( because I'm not a plumber and do not know the first thing to cutting pipes and installing prv) what are my options? I've also tried high pressure hoses, that seemed to help but the problem now is when hooked to a handheld nozzle the male end of the coupling bursts right out of the end of the hose taking the nozzle for a ride with it. HELP
Outside tap pressure too high
Hi guys great input, it sounds like you know what your talking about. Is there also anything that you can just screw on to the outside tap that would reduce the pressure?
