Temperature And Pressure Relief Valves
Good Vs Bad T And P Valves
The temperature and pressure relief valve is an important safety valve that controls water heater temp and pressure. Typically located near or on the top of your water heater. T And P Valves are designed to release water pressure from your water heater when too much water pressure is coming into your home. It can also prevent problems if your water heater’s thermostat overheats.
Never Remove Or Block Off The Valve!
Our technicians have seen T And P Valves removed or blocked off completely. This should never be done even to prevent leaking or flooding because of a water heaters location.
It’s important to know that removing or blocking these T and P Valves can be disastrous. Inoperable temperature and pressure relief valves can be potentially explosive and hazardous.
