Reference UPC 2000 (Uniform Plumbing Code) Section 510- Protection from Damage or IPC 2000 (International Plumbing Code) Section 504- Safety Devices. Periodic discharge of the temperature and pressure relief valve or failure of the element gasket may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. The water utility supply meter may contain a check valve, backflow preventer or water pressure reducing valve which will create a closed water system. During the heating cycle of the water heater, the water expands causing pressure inside the water heater to increase. The temperature and pressure relief valve may discharge hot water under these conditions which results in a loss of energy and a build-up of lime on the relief valve seat. Install a diaphragm-type expansion tank that is suitable for potable water on the cold water supply line. Install a 125 PSI pressure relief valve in the cold water supply line. Make sure the discharge of this valve is directed to an open drain and protected from freezing. Contact the local water supplier or plumbing inspector for information on how to control this situation. Do not plug the temperature and pressure relief valve. Closed system thermal expansion (for all models) Instructions for use Starting and testing Before connecting the power, fill the tank and system with water and check for leaks. To be certain that all air is out of the water system, open the hot water faucets on your fixtures until constant water flows from them, otherwise damage to the element may occur.
