For months, the bathtub faucet has dripped, or streamed unless you jiggled it just right. Then the kitchen faucet became difficult to turn off. Then yesterday the outside faucet was found running a steady trickle. Checked the water pressure reducing valve, and sure enough it was dripping. Replaced it today, reconnected, and all three faucets are still dripping or streaming. Have all 4 things (bathtub, kitchen, outside and WPRV) gone out this close together? Did the high pressure coming in ruin the 3 faucets? Or is there somewhere else we need to look?

Your question is vague with facts. Have you tried to inspect the working stems or cartridges after replacing the PRV? That is where I would begin.

Set the pressure around 70 psi, and start fixing leaks.

The PRV probably had NOTHING to do with the things that are leaking, because if they were not already damaged, they could withstand 150psi, at least, and probably more than that.

suggest looking at water bound contaminates.not sure of your water source or quality but when, many rubber components fail at the same time.It is usually debris .The source of which is varied and many.discovery is of the utmost importance.Repair is at each fixture and nothing whole system will cure the individual failures at this point.Fix each and discover the failure cause !!!Water pressure alone is not the failure point!!!the noted/posted, /indent/page move\ was discerning at best!
