The picture you see is shooting thru a small access hole, * *To get in

read that these things can be rebuilt without removing the body.

make the hole bigger, use a couple shark bite connectors, you're done in
15 minutes or less. *And no broken off screws which lead to replacing it
anyway and being without water.

I don't know the ratings for shark bites, but the pressure before the
regulator could be well over 150psi. *After the regulator it's no
problem but before it....???? *Maybe the water company will tell you the

I sure hope Shark Bites are rated for street pressure.

I just installed 2 so I could "upgrade" the backyard hose bib to
street pressure I tapped into the street pressure copper that goes to
front hose bib and ran PEX across the basement to the back yard bib.

Actually, I already knew that they are.

Maximum Working Pressu
160psi @ 73.4°F (23°C)
100psi @ 180°F (80°C)
80psi @ 200°F (93°C)

As long as it stays under 180°F in my basement, I should be OK.
