The range of normal residential water pressure is from 30 to 80 psi. Ideally, the pressure should be set between 45 and 60 pounds in most residential Plumbing systems.If the pressure rises too high particularly above 80 psi, plumbing fixtures and appliances (primarily water heaters) could be damaged or leak excessively.

Would you ever want higher than 80 psi water pressure in a house?
For normal usage, no, not necessary. Higher pressure puts added strain on fixture water piping.
At 32 degrees Fahrenheit what does water do?
Pure water, at normal pressure will freeze.
House water pressure?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
What is the normal pressure inside or outside the house?
Inside pressure is warm and outside is cold. But any where outside my house there is no problem. Urine becomes normal and no problem
What is the normal water pressure before the pressure reduction valve?
There is no such thing as normal water pressure, it is changing all the time due to demand in the water distribution system. If a PRV is needed then the pressure is higher upstream than is wanted.
What is the pressure at the normal boiling of water?
100c
Is water is a liquid?
Water is a liquid at room temperature and normal pressure.
What is the pressure at normal boiling point of water?
100c
What causes water pressure surging in house after pressure regulator?
Sounds like a bad/failed water pressure regulator.
If you have city water do you have whole house water filters that you need to replace?
how do i increase water pressure to the house if you have city water?
How to lower the water pressure in a normal house?
If you are on city water, there will be a Pressure Reduction Valve where the water pipe enters the house. This is a bell shaped fitting with an adjuster nut on top. Loosen the locknut (top one ) and turn the lower nut anti-clockwise to reduce pressure, then lock it again. - NOTE - some PRV's will go up in pressure when they get old, and are impossible to reduce any more. In this case you need to turn OFF the water outside and fit a new PRV. They cost around 40-60 depending where you buy them.
How cold does water have to be to freeze in kelvins?
It depends on the pressure. At normal atmospheric pressure, the melting point of water is about 273.15 K.
