Chris I learned a long time ago, the only one you can depend on is yourself. I always tell my wife, if I don't ask for help, then I am not disappointed when I don't get any.

Good afternoon y'all!
I used to have friends that would give a hand, those got careers, families and other stuff going on, the only ones left are the losers.
I made it up to the RV a couple hours later than I wanted but I got it all packed up and am heading home with it now

Evening JF.
Chris, what is the normal PSI at a subdivision of homes with a fire hydrant. Is 225 PSI out of the normal for pressure to a typical fire hydrant? There is a question of extremely high PSI coming from a residence water meter, and they said it's running between 200 and 225 PSI. All these questions can be found on Plumbing forums, if you have a chance to answer.

Whow... holy shit...
Typical Fire Hydrant (required), 50-75psig
Typical home, w/ GOOD inlet pressure 40-60 and reduced to 25min-50max (adjustable)
"The typical inlet water pressure to a home is about 40 to 45 psi. Normally, it should not exceed 60 psi inlet. The pressure regulator is usually preset to 50 psi (as a max). However, it can be adjusted anywhere from 25 to 75 psi with a simple turn of a screw..."

200 is far too high, we test water lines at 200 psi for 2 hours. Like cause says needs to be low. I like 60-65 psi but most reduce it down from there. There is no huge standard set in stone where you live but 200 is a ticking bomb and will ruin any toilet valve or faucet. I have only seen static pressure that high and the was on a job in colton and it ruined about 25k worth of 12 inch gate valves for me.
Does that house have a pressure regulator and if so make sure it has not failed or was put in backwards. Maybe let the city officials know that the standard resilient wedge gate valves throughout there system whether they are made by Clow, AVK or any other manufacturer are only rated to 175 psi max. The same valve that is used to shut down that hydrant outside. The standard piping where you live will be a C900 in either class 150 or class 200 which is the psi rating.
You must be very close to a pump station as they usually boost the pressure up to have decent pressure at the end of the line.
Damn nice of you Chris.
I try and be a good friend
