Pressure Discipline

Caleffi 535361HA PRV (with gauge)

When excessive source pressure is shortening system life, a correctly sized pressure reducing valve (PRV) is one of the highest-ROI reliability upgrades. The Caleffi 535361HA adds an on-body gauge to support quicker verification and cleaner follow-up service.

Why we like a gauge on the PRV

  • Faster verification: quick checks during seasonal service and troubleshooting.
  • Better tuning: supports pressure discipline targets (often ~65 PSI with a regulated ceiling of 75 PSI, tuned for real-world performance).
  • Cleaner follow-through: makes it easier to confirm “under-flow truth” after changes to nozzles, heads, or zone demand.

When we recommend this model

  • Static source pressure is consistently elevated (often 85+ PSI locally)
  • Systems with repeat head failures, misting, or leak symptoms tied to pressure stress
  • Install paths where a gauge adds serviceability and better documentation over time
Scope note: we choose PRV hardware based on service size, peak zone demand, and pressure under flow (zones running). We confirm fit on-site before selecting a specific model.

Scaling up (bigger services)

If service size and demand exceed a 1-inch class install, Caleffi offers larger NPTF options (including 1-1/4") with higher flow ceilings and broader pressure ranges. We’ll recommend the right size during scoping so performance stays stable and maintainable.

Pressure issue suspected?

We can test pressure at the source and under flow, then scope the correct mix of PRV, pressure-regulating heads, and programming changes.
