The pressure regulator is the part people in Agoura Hills notice last. In Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon, the one at the front hose bib was set once and has been giving up for years. You'll see fill valves and angle stops failing one after another. A gauge reads it in a minute, and over 80 psi means the regulator is done.

The job
How it goes
A regulator is a valve on the main line, usually near the front hose bib. It takes street pressure, 100 psi and more here, and holds the house at 50 to 70. When one fails after ten to fifteen years, pressure creeps up and fill valves, angle stops, cartridges and washer hoses start breaking.
A gauge on a hose bib tests it in a minute. Over 80, or a swing when a fixture shuts, means it's done. Replacement takes a few hours, with unions so the next swap is easier. If the water heater has no expansion tank, we add one.
We check the pressure at every house we work in. Here, it's the most useful thing to know.

Common questions
Pressure regulators in Agoura Hills: things people ask
- How fast can you get to Agoura Hills?
- Often the same day. It's seven minutes down the 101 from Westlake Village.
- Who pulls the permit in Agoura Hills?
- We do, through the City of Agoura Hills, for water heaters, gas lines, repipes and remodels. We handle the inspection.
- What should my water pressure be?
- Between 50 and 70 psi. Code allows up to 80. Above that, most fixture warranties are void.
- Where is my regulator?
- Near the front hose bib or main shutoff. It's a bell-shaped brass valve with a screw on top.
