Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve

Explosion Hazard

o Temperature-pressure relief valve

must comply w_th ANSI Z21.22 and ASME code.

• Properly sized temperature° pressure relief valve must be

installed in opening provided.

•Can result in overheating and excessive tank pressure

o Can cause serious injury or death.

This heater is provided with a properly certified combination

temperature - pressure relief valve by the manufacturer.

The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing

laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of

listed equipment as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves

and Automatic Gas Shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply

Systems, ANSI Z21.22 and the code requirements of ASME.

If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local

codes, but not less than a combination temperature and

pressure relief valve certified as indicated in the above paragraph.

The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater (150 psi = 1,035kPa) and a discharge capacity not less than the water heater input rate as shown on the mode! rating plate.

For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not

be removed from its designated opening nor plugged.

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designed for the relief valve.

Position the valve downward and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only within 6 inches (153 mm) above, or at any distance below the structural floor, see Figure 16. Be certain

that no contact is made with any live electrica! part. The

discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size

under any circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 feet (9.14 m), or use of more than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve.

No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief valve and the tank. Do not connect tubing directly to discharge

drain unless a 6 inch air gap is provide& To prevent bodily injury, hazard to life, or property damage, the relief valve must

be allowed to discharge water in quantities should

circumstances demand. If the discharge pipe is not connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may cause property damage.

Water Damage Hazard

,Temperature=pressure relief valve discharge pipe must terminate at adequate drain.

The Discharge Pipe:

*Shall not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the valve, or have any reducing couplings or other restrictions.

Shall not be plugged or blocked.

Shall be of material listed for hot water distribution.

Shall be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both

the temperature-pressure relief valve, and the discharge pipe.

,Shah terminate at an adequate drain.

Shall not have any valve between the relief valve and tank.

Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns

instantly resulting in severe injury or death

Children, the elderly, and the physicaNy or mentaNy disabled are at highest riskfor scald injury.

Feel water before bathing or showering,

Temperature limiting valves are available.

Read instruction manual for safe temperature setting.
