A:  I believe the preset pressure was 50 psig. Keep in mind, however, that this valve does not regulate down to zero flow; at zero flow inside line pressure equals outside pressure.

A:  45 psi

A:  From my limited experience, mine was preset between 40-50psi, but your's may vary depending on whether your adjustment screw was tightened or not? I was able to verify the inline pressure using a pressure gauge attached to my faucet.
