Pressure Regulator Valve

[jujubee]

Please help! I awoke to some flooding from my PRV. Attached is the picture of it and I know in most forum postings it says the whole piece will need to be replaced. I wanted to know because it is leaking or spraying from the gray plastic cover where the tag is, can I just replace the plastic cap?

The brand is called the honeywell braukmann D 06 F series and after more research i believe that particular piece is called the "spring bonnet"

Thanks much!!

I would say that you need to replace the cartridge.

Do you think the cartridge is something I can get at a plumbing parts store?

You can try but they may have to order it.

Reason people say to replace the whole thing is it can take time to get parts, sometimes you spend more time replacing parts than replacing the whole thing. Also in some cases you replace a part, it works for a few months then next thing you know you have to replace more parts (unless you do a total rebuild) but do whatever works for you

Thanks for all the responses, I replaced the whole valve, it was a learning lesson but went fairly well!
