Water pressure valve

Over time, after continuous expanding and contracting, the tank will weaken (think of bending a paper clip back and forth—eventually it will break).

However, when water is heated, its volume expands (this is called thermal expansion). When the water volume expands, it puts extra pressure on the tank.

Since most new homes are built with a closed plumbing system, chances are, you’ll need an expansion tank. We’ll explain why below.

If you’re having trouble locating your main water shutoff valve, or you can’t identify a backflow prevention device, contact a plumber. They’ll tell you if you have an open or closed system, and can provide expansion tank recommendations.

You see, homes have either an open or a closed plumbing system. A closed plumbing system prevents water from flowing in the reverse direction (i.e., water won’t flow back into city lines once it enters your home’s pipes).

Our range includes PRV536, PRV535, PRV1310 and PRVNGE models. These pressure relief valve products come with gauges, allowing you to make accurate adjustments. Regardless of the setup you choose, this process is quick and simple, and full instructions will be provided. Bear in mind that for these solutions to work, the force of water at the inlet must always be higher than the desired outlet pressure.

Because it reduces pressure, an expansion tank prolongs the life of your water heater. In fact, some manufacturers may void your water heater warranty if you have a closed plumbing system without an expansion tank.

When you install an expansion tank, the extra water volume created by thermal expansion automatically rushes into the expansion tank, reducing the pressure inside your water heater.

We offer a broad selection of pressure reducing valve (PRV) solutions. As their name suggests, these products are used to relieve excessive water pressure and they have a number of different applications. For example, they can be used to reduce the force of mains water if it is too strong, control pump outlet pressure and aid water conservation. They can also provide a constant outlet pressure even if inlet pressures vary.

The expert plumbers in Tampa from Red Cap are ready to help with all your water heater repair, installation and service needs.

Like we mentioned in the beginning, a closed system creates a single path for water to flow into (but not back out of) your home.

If you see a backflow prevention device (like a check valve or pressure-reducing valve) connected to your main water shutoff valve, then you have a closed plumbing system.
