Vibrant Yard Co. LLC 25 PSI Pressure Regulator Brass 3/4 in, 2

The Vibrant Yard Company 25 PSI Pressure Regulator is an inline brass fitting designed to manage high incoming water pressure for domestic outdoor watering. By stepping down water line pressure to a nominal 25 psi (maintaining a range of 20 to 30 psi), it provides steady regulation for equipment that cannot tolerate full spigot pressure.

Built from solid lead-free brass containing less than 0.25% lead, this regulator is designed as a rugged alternative to typical plastic units. It handles maximum inlet pressures up to 145 psi, remains impervious to sunlight degradation, and supports a flow rate from 0 up to 6.8 gallons per minute. Standard 3/4-inch female hose thread inlet and male hose thread outlet fittings make it compatible with typical hose bibs and garden hoses across the USA and Canada.

Keep in mind that while it works alongside automated timers, filters, or backflow preventers, compatibility with hose materials requires attention. Connecting this brass regulator to aluminum hose fittings for extended periods can cause galvanic corrosion, so pairing it with compatible metal or plastic connections is necessary.

Verdict: This brass regulator is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to replace fragile plastic regulators with a sturdy, sun-resistant fitting. It is best suited for standard North American hose setups that require reliable low-pressure regulation without risking sun damage.

• Material: Solid lead-free brass (less than 0.25% lead)
• Nominal Output Pressure: 25 psi (maintains 20-30 psi)
• Maximum Inlet Pressure: 145 psi
• Flow Rate: 0-6.8 GPM
• Inlet Size: 3/4-inch FHT
• Outlet Size: 3/4-inch MHT

A great fit if you:

• Need to reduce line pressure to a steady 20 to 30 psi range
• Want a durable brass regulator that will not degrade under direct sunlight
• Have incoming water lines with pressures reaching up to 145 psi
• Plan to add components like inline filters, timers, or backflow preventers

Consider something else if you:

• Use garden hoses or attachments with aluminum fittings for permanent setups
• Require a flow rate higher than 6.8 gallons per minute

Can I leave this regulator connected to an aluminum hose fitting?
No, it should not be attached to aluminum fittings for prolonged periods because contact between the two metals can cause galvanic corrosion.

What thread size does this pressure regulator use?
It features a 3/4-inch female hose thread (FHT) inlet and a 3/4-inch male hose thread (MHT) outlet, fitting standard USA and Canada garden bibs and hoses.

Can this unit be used with a watering timer or filter?
Yes, it can be connected inline with an automated timer, backflow preventer, or filter if your system requires them.
