They'll tell you to turn the pressure down by partially closing the stoptap, which is what you should have done before buying a regulator.

The static presure will burst equiment not rated to 10 bar. You NEED a PRV.

That's a good point on hoses.
The "spur" to my outside taps is upstream of the pressure regulator.
It's a real hassle replacing hose connectors all the time (because they get blown off). ....and have had one "burst".

Much the same for washing machine hoses, but lower pressures. In the rare case of a machine that uses hot fill from a combi, the hose will be full of hot water when the filling ceases and mains pressure on a hot hose...!
A few years ago I installed a Miele and that hose was much higher rated than standard ones.

Mine blew a watering computer to bits. Luckily I got a new one from the shop for free. I had to fit a pressure regulator to stop the new one breaking. Of course turning the stop tap down as suggested earlier would have resulted in another blown up watering computer.

Where does that rank against being called a plant pot then?

Fantastic to hear from you Maxie! How is the Paddy band going? You do play to many drunken audiences? People like you make this world go round and are a breath of fresh air. You really are. I hope you have stopped swearing at people in the street and have a handle on the flatulence. Fantastic Maxie. Truly fantastic.

Well, I feel aggrieved. Not special enough to get a proper name.

Rare??????
With these sorts of pressures, it is best to have cold fill only. Most washing machines are these days. Cold 30C washing liquid is very good. The have a 1/4 turn tap under the sink at the front so the machine is turned off after each wash, or have a remote operated water tap, available from S/fix and the likes. Just hit he switch and the cold is off.
