Increasing the pressure on valves often involves adjusting a screw, nut, or knob attached to the valve. According to the reference material, turning the screw or knob clockwise typically increases the water pressure.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Identifying the Adjustment Mechanism: Most pressure valves have a clearly defined adjustment mechanism, such as a screw, nut, or knob.
-
Direction of Rotation: Generally, rotating this mechanism clockwise will increase the pressure, while turning it counter-clockwise will decrease the pressure.
Direction Effect on Pressure Clockwise Increase Counter-Clockwise Decrease -
Example: Imagine a water pressure regulator. It typically has a screw on top. Turning this screw clockwise will increase the water pressure downstream of the regulator.
Keep in mind that this information is generally applicable; however, specific valve instructions should always be consulted.
