Residential water pressure ?
05-10-2015, 06:57 PM
I have a question for the plumbers in here, if any, or for anyone who knows.
What pressure does a typical house spigot(outside) have?

I have my own well. It cuts on at 40 and off at 60. You can't tell a difference at the faucet.

Looking back over my home inspection from when I bought; it was measured at 63psi. It seems normal to me, but I never had any other residence measured.
