water pressure reducing valve and water pressure regulator
No, I've never seen a "pressure reducer", only pressure regulators.
The types of regulators we are talking about all work by REDUCING the pressure.
If the regulator is set to 50 and the incoming pressure is 25, the "regulator cannot increase the pressure, it can regulate in one direction only and that is reducing.
That's probably what the engineer was trying to say.
