: My 14 year old home has Qest polybutylene pipes, and my plumber recommends replacing original (coroding) 3/4" regulator valve with a 1" unit. Pipes are 1". Is this advisable? Reply: The pressure regulator should be the same size as the piping it's protecting from excessive water pressure. Check this link about PB.
