There are various kinds of pressure valves. Perhaps the 2 most common in homes are the PRV (pressure regulating valve) which is on most incoming water pipes from a city supply. This valve limits the pressure entering the home system, bringing it down from city mains pressure. The second is on every hot water tank, and this is a relief valve, which will open up if the pressure in the tank becomes too high and vent the excess water down the drain.
