The Australian Standards also state that any new buildings or extension work done to your plumbing requires the installation of a pressure limiting value. Failure to do this means that your building does not comply. The standards go on to say that ‘pressures above 500kPa can cause damage from water hammer, reduced life of appliances, taps and fittings, and cause excessive noise in the system.’

A pressure limiting valve (PLV) is a valve that reduces the pressure of the water which flows through it. Water mains pressure can reach extreme pressures and without a pressure limiting valve the pipes in your house could reach this pressure too.
