Hello,

We recently found a link in the water pressure valve on our main water line and need to replace it. From doing a little research I was looking at the Wilkins NR3XL and Wilkins Model 500XL and I believe this is dependent on our upstream water pressure. The current valve we have is the Wilkins Model BR4. Pressure Range: 15-150psi, Max Temp: 180deg, Max Inlet Pressure 400psi. If someone has a recommendation that would be super helpful.

It looks like a pretty simple install, but I am attaching some images as well, so any help with what each lever and valve does would be helpful. I see two shutoff levers and what I believe is a faucet to check water pressure. Let me know if this is incorrect.
