Pretty much as the title say`s really, wondering how much variation there could be.
 
3-10 bar with flow rates from less than Soding to 40 lpm

1-4bar as far as I know never had any higher pressure. Very often we've got the case of 1-2max but the. Again it depends on lead pipe or mdpe upgraded

Dewsbury seems to have mega pressure. I did a warehouse for (Shackletons chairs) years ago. The builder caught the main and it was like old faithful :D
 
I've found everything from 1 bar to 11 bar here in Guernsey.

The 11 bar situation was noticed by me when I was at a customer's house that was being renovated and I noticed the hose on the garden standpipe had a bulge in it like a snake had eaten a guinea pig whole. So I got the gauge out and showed them. Sold them a PRV for the house after that.
 
Dropped from about 80PSI to 35PSI near Bridgwater a few years ago which was a bit of a bummer as we used to pressure test a 50PSI steam boiler direct off the mains.
Years ago in Alston, ***bria, I could direct inject water into a steam loco running at 160 PSI off the mains!
