    Pressure reducing valve placement
    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... ;)
