The easiest way to reduce the water pressure is to just not open the
valve all the way. This isn't a precision application: a factor of two in application rate is within reason.

In my area, the water pressure fluctuates between 95 and 105 PSI, so it wouldn't be a problem for me - but I realize that not everyone else is so lucky. : ) Some people don't even use a regulator on their sprinkler systems, they just hook 12 or more heads on a single circuit. With all of that flow and the restriction of 3/4" pipes, it ends up dropping the pressure enough that heads don't blow up... but the water hammer is unbelievable! steve |
