For this reason, it is not advisable to install thewater heater in an attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot beavoided, a...

8 The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated andincreases the pressure of the water system. If the relieving point ofthe water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, thevalve will relieve the excess pressure. The temperature-pressure relief valve is not intended f...

14 THERMAL EXPANSION Water supply systems may, because of such events as high linepressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of water hammer amongothers, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, checkvalves, back flow preventers, etc. to control these types of problems.When these devic...

15 If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset andcontinues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet tothe water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace thetemperature-pressure relief valve with a new one. If the temperature-pressure relief valve...
