Water pressure regulator
Had odd water pressure problems on my Bird since I got it. Decided to chase it
down today. Tracked the problem back to the water pressure regulator. Removed the bottom (at least I think it is the bottom, it looks to me like it is installed upside down with the bottom facing up). Inside of it was chock full or rust, calcium and assorted varieties of minerals and gunk. Piping was completely blocked. I cleaned it out enough to let water pass thru but I'm pretty sure it's not regulating pressure any more due to the additional gunk that must be in the top of it. Considered replacing it, but that's a pain in the neck. Have to remove a number of pipes, and even the valve controlling water flow to the heater, and the air blow out line from the chassis air to get enough room to unscrew the regulator. So I decided to leave it in place and use an in-line regulator with a gauge at the hose connection. Anyone done something similar? Anyone else checked to see if their regulators are actually functional? Kerry 82 FC 35 Unregulated Denver |
