111 psi from mains.
WILKINS MODEL 70 (25-75 range)
The pressure after the PRV is also 111psi. No matter how I adjust the PRV it's still 111psi. Aside from this, at .96 GPM, the pressure drops down to 40psi. (a drop of 71psi) So at a minimal flow - it's killing my water pressure; and at zero flow, it's letting 111psi through.
Is this what happens when a PRV goes bad? Any ideas appreciated...
I saw some rebuild kits online.. or should I just buy a new valve?
