the supply pipe to my radiator furnace has, after a stop valve, two bell shaped contraptions immediately one next to the other. they are very similar except that the one that says RELIEF VALVE is regulated by a slider that goes around and the one that says REDUCING VALVE has a screw/bolt on top that seems to be its regulator.
can someone please explain the function of these valves. my guess is that one of the roles is to prevent the heated water that goes past them mix with the regular supply water before them but i am also guessing there are more functions.
i can take a picture and post if anybody would find it helpful.
thanks much.
