What is the water pressure and what is the pressure rating of the PRV.
Shut off the boiler & the incoming water. Drop the boiler pressure to zero then check the pressure in the expansion tank. For most houses the tank pressure should be 12-15 psig. If you have no pressure, the bladder has probably failed.
A leaking PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve), or a leaking T&P (Temperature and Pressure) relief valve?
What's the house PSI ? I wonder along with Harold, Are we talking PRV valve into the house or are we talking about the boiler T&Pn valve? Back to you, Tom
A boiler doesn't normally have a T&P valve, strictly pressure & usually set for 30#. Yes, it could be a reducing valve but I've never seen one leak except at a joint.
Tony636,
What pressure is the gauge on the boiler showing?
