#PRM10HFM - 10 PSI Pressure Regulator, Hose Threads

Pressure regulators reduce the pressure entering your system to the recommended operating pressure of the drip/micro sprinkler or soaker hose system that you are using. That pressure should be around 25-30 psi for drip and soaker hose, and no more than 60 psi for micro sprinklers/sprayers. The pressure of your system is VERY IMPORTANT, especially with soaker hose and knowing which regulator to get. Regulators can only take so much pressure, coming in to them. So please look for that information on our regulators, printed in purple. If your pressure exceeds this psi, and you purchase the wrong regulator, it will cause it to malfunction and water will come out a little hole on the side of the regulator. The regulator will no longer work if this happens. Know your pressure! Get a gauge. Without the pressure regulator, a system may have leaks, poly and soaker hose can burst, or connections may fail. Most are garden hose threads, those with pipe thread fittings are marked in red. If using a timer, your regulator should be installed after the timer, as they should not be under constant pressure.
