The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designed for the relief valve. Must terminate a maximum of 6 in. (15cm) above a floor drain or external to the building. In cold climates, it is recommended that the discharge pipe be terminated at an adequate drain inside the building. Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part. The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 ft. (9.14m), or use of more than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve (see Figures 3 & 19).

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 in. (15cm) air gap is provided. 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.

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.

•Shall terminate a maximum of 6 in. (15cm) above a floor drain or external to the building. In cold climates, it is recommended that the discharge line be terminated at an adequate drain inside the building.

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

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year, (see Figure 17). Caution should be taken to ensure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage because the water may be extremely hot.

FIGURE 17

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

T&P Valve and Pipe Insulation (if supplied)

Remove insulation for T&P valve and pipe connections from carton.

FIGURE 18

Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold water line and the hot water line. Make sure that the insulation is against the top cover of the heater. Fit T&P valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation does not interfere with the lever of the T&P valve.

Secure all insulation using tape.
