Piping Water to Cab Machine
« on: November 28, 2016, 07:53:17 AM »

I finally took the plunge and bought a cabbing machine. I'd like to plumb it up to my cold water line, which should be easy to do Shark Bite style. My question, for anyone who has done this or who knows more about plumbing, is: do I need a pressure regulator between my cold line and the cab machine? We have pretty high water pressure and there is already a whole house regulator to take the pressure down a notch. I don't want to overload the machine - it's a Cab King - by supplying it with more water pressure than it can handle.

I have all of my machines plumbed in at full water pressure.  I use 1/4 flexible inch plastic pipe and I do have turn off valves before the machines in case a valve on the machine fails.
