Anything less than 80psi is normal, I had 120psi so I had to install one per code.
I did it myself, if you know how to sweat a copper joint you can do it also.
To relieve myself of the anxiety of "soldering upwards" I made the cut in the water main after the first elbow where the pipe turns to run along the ceiling.
After installing I left it open all the way and turn on the water main, then I began reducing the pressure down to 70 lbs.
