If you don't, the pressure may fracture your pipes or joints.
You would need to specify the size of the heater
sounds like may be to much heat. if its coming out of the pressure relief valve located on top.turn heat down, you said coming out the valve i thinking you mean the valve on top of heater.if so thats it. faulty valve or water is getting to hot.hope thathelps
pressure relief valve relief the excess pressure which is developed in the syatem, while pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure and supply it to the system.
Yes, both an expansion tank and a pressure relief valve are important components on a hot water heater. The expansion tank helps accommodate pressure changes in the system, while the pressure relief valve releases excess pressure to prevent tank damage or explosions. Having both components working together ensures the safe and efficient operation of the hot water heater.
The Thermostat and Temp and Press Valve is faulty and needs to be replaced. or the PRV (pressure reducing valve) is dirty and must be replaced
The high oil pressure relief valve is located in the oil pump
Yes, you should, it helps air get in to flush more quickly.
Leak base is simply the cause of the following:> Faulty temperature and pressure of relief valve.> T&P leak due to overheating and too much pressure> Corrosion
faulty control valve on heater or air in the lines
