When you guys are using "PRV" without further clarification, how do I determine 
when "R" is reducing, relief or regulating?

In USA, listings stop at 350 for now; in Canada, 400 PSI.   These metrics the 
latest that I am aware of but if anyone out there knows of newer and higher 
ratings, chime in.

What he said.  Thank goodness for the master PRV in NFPA 14 so we can say if 
not allowed why’s it there?

 

I’ve never gone looking so what’s the maximum rating available for PRV’s?

Yes. That is what we do with standpipes all the time. You can design for 300 
psi, your components on the discharge side of the pump just have to be 300 psi 
rated.
