- What devices are useful on the "city's side" of a main water line? In what order should they be installed?
I have a house where water enters from the street in a 1" PEX line, which comes up from the slab inside a closet. No other permanent plumbing is yet installed. I want to install a shut-off valve, a pressure regulator, pressure valve, and a sediment filter. I'm also considering installing a water hammer arrestor if that is useful combating water hammer coming from the city's plumbing operations.
Is the best order for these devices (starting at the city's end of the line): shut-off valve, pressure regulator, pressure valve, sediment filter? Does the pressure regulator combat water hammer coming from the city's end? If not, should the water hammer arrestor be installed just after the shut-off valve?
