PlumbingRepair and Maintenance Decisions3MediumPlumber$ implied
Zurn NR3 pressure reducing valves fail after 3-5 years due to erosion of the brass stem holding the center o-ring, requiring costly rebuilds or replacements.
Existing replacement parts are the same design that fails, so plumbers have to keep replacing the same failing component without a more durable option.
