Maintenance schedule – monthly homeowner

•Move operating lever to open position for a few seconds and then move it back, allowing it to snap closed. After T&P relief valve is operated, if it continues to release water, close cold water inlet to water heater immediately. Follow draining instructions, and replace T&P relief valve. If T&P relief valve weeps periodically, it may be due to thermal expansion (see “Thermal Expansion”, page 13). Do not plug T&P relief valve or discharge piping.
