There is a bolt/screw that you turn on the top or bottom of the valve. If the pressure has decreased recently there may be issues that need to be addressed other then just increasing pressure...

How do you reset the temperature and pressure valve for electric water heaters?
The T and P valve is the temperature and pressure valve that is used on hot water tanks as a safety device. The temperature rating is up to 210 degrees F and a water pressure up to 150 psig. (pound force per square inch gauge) before the safety valve trips to relieve water and lower the pressure inside the tank. When the safety valve trips it allows cooler water to enter the tank to cool off the hot water that tripped the valve in the first place. The valve is usually located on the outflow of the tank as the temperature probe has to be located within 6 inches from the top of the tank where the water temperature will be the hottest. The valve is self resetting as soon as the pressure is reduced or the temperature lowers to below the set point of the valve.
What is a T and P valve for electric water heater?
A T and P valve (Temperature and Pressure valve) is a safety device used in electric water heaters. It is designed to release excess pressure and temperature from the tank to prevent the tank from rupturing or exploding. When the temperature or pressure reaches a certain level, the T and P valve opens to release the excess pressure and temperature, allowing the heater to operate safely.
What happens if I increase the pressure to solid water?
If you put pressure on ice it will melt.
Does water pressure need to build up after you turn the water valve off because you had half the water pressure you did when you turned the water valve back on to your sink?
No, water pressure is immediate. If you replaced the sink faucet you probably ended up with one of the "low flow" faucets that are being produced to save water. Sometimes they can be taken apart and "encouraged" to let more water through. if the valve had no been used in awile the gasket will stick when you turn it off and back on replace the valve with a quarter turn ball type valve and you wont have this problem again
Where is valve located to increase water pressure?
There is no such thing as a valve cannot increase or decrease pressure IT can throttle volume or stop the flow.=One would need a pressure booster pump to increase pressure=
How do you correct the pressure in water pipes?
To correct the pressure in water pipes, you can adjust the pressure regulator valve. Locate the pressure regulator valve, which is typically found near the main water line or near the water meter. Using a wrench, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase the pressure or counterclockwise to decrease it. Be cautious not to exceed the maximum recommended pressure for your plumbing system.
How do you reduce or increase water pressure on a grass sprinkler?
With a pressure booster pump or a Pressure reducing valve
Water pressure control valve - does the pressure increase when you turn the screw inward?
That would depend on the maker
Does it put pressure on the pipe to turn off toilet valve and not the main water for 2 days?
It does not increase the pressure it remains the same as if the valve was open.
Can you increase flush in water saver toilet?

Which way do you turn the bolt on the water pressure valve to increase the pressure?
To the right for more pressure To the left for less
Does the main water supply have to be turned off and the pipes drained before you can turn the screw on the pressure valve to increase the water pressure in house?
no
Can you adjust the pressure on a hot water baseboard heating system?
Yes, add or remove water. Add to increase and remove to decrease. Use the autofeed valve to do this. Lifting the lever allows city water pressure into the system. Lowering the lever puts it back to its limiting setting. Most auto feed valves have a pin under the cap that can be adjusted by screwing in the top or unscrewing the top. This adjusts the preset pressure. Never go over 25 pounds or you will discharge the pressure relief valve.
What is the Water pressure for homes?
Generally it is about 55 psi . The best way to set it is have a water pressure valve installed on the incoming water line to your house. Too much pressure can cause serious damage to appliances. Water hammer is a comon cause of too much pressure Any Questions e-mail jdroegem@comcast.net
What is high pressure valve?
A pressure valve is usually installed on water systems to prevent excess water pressure from destroying fixtures or other plumbing components. When the pressure exceeds the valve ratings the valve opens and releases water/pressure from the line.
How do you increase pressure in hot water?
Make sure your valve is all the way on at hot water tank. If you have a gate valve -- instead of ball valve -- Gate valves -- will break inside the valve and you will not know if it is all the way on or not -- If you turn handle and it keeps turning then it is broke inside the valve -- turn water off at main and replace with ball valve.
