Pressure reducing valve scolding water
Pressure reducing valve scolding water
Hi everyone,
I am having a problem where:
The shower powered by an oil fired boiler is:
Getting too hot after fitting a pressure reducing valve - fitted as mains water pressure was increased - making shower lukewarm
The pressure reducer is set to 3 bar and servicing a bungalow with two bathrooms with shower and two kitchens. Not much pipe run.
Does not matter how much flow is set on shower... water is scolding and boiler is set at lowest setting about 1 bar (max three)
Any ideas what...
