Working pressure, also known as maximum operating pressure, refers to the highest pressure that a plumbing system or component can safely handle during normal operation. It is a critical parameter for designing, installing, and maintaining systems like water supply lines, pumps, and valves. Exceeding the working pressure can lead to leaks, system failure, or damage to components. Regular monitoring and maintenance of systems to ensure pressure stays within the recommended range help prevent damage and extend the lifespan of plumbing components.
