SpenceSteam regulator

We'll answer your questions before you ask them: Yes you need a pressure regulator, and No there is no "standard pressure." What pressure you get at your hose spigot can vary wildly depending on your state, city, and neighborhood, the condition of your local plumbing system, where you are in relation to the nearest pump station, if you're at the top or bottom of a hill, and a bunch of other factors. Since your drip system needs a fairly low pressure, it's best to always use a pressure regulator.

A pressure regulator is a device used to reduce and regulate the water pressure entering a drip system so it matches the pressure needed by the system. The Drip Store's range of basic pressure regulators offers exceptional outlet pressure control and provides consistent performance at flow rates from 6 to 480 gph. These regulators are preset to their stated pressure and utilize minimal moving parts, with a sophisticated diaphragm design that regulates itself in reaction to the overall back pressure in the system. All of our preset pressure regulators use high strength ABS plastic material and all joints are sonic welded into an impact-resistant plastic housing.

Basic pressure regulators are listed below, ranging from 10 psi to 30 psi with both hose thread and pipe thread ends. Most drip systems operate best at 25 psi, but you can always call us to discuss which regulator is best for your system. All of the below regulators are 3/4" in size, regardless of thread type.
