WARNING 
For protection against excessive temperatures and pressure, install 
temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local codes, but 
not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified 
by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic 
inspection of production of listed equipment or materials as meeting the 
requirements of the Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff 
Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 or the Standard 
CAN1-4.4. Temperature and Pressure
 and the Standard CAN1-4.4, 
Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves and 
Vacuum Relief Valves
.  The combination temperature and pressure relief 
valve shall be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the 
maximum working pressure of the water heater.  The combination 
temperature and pressure relief valve shall also have an hourly rated 
temperature steam BTU discharge capacity not less than the hourly rating 
of the water heater. 
 
Install the combination temperature and pressure relief valve into the opening 
provided and marked for this purpose on the water heater.  
 
Note:  Some models may already be equipped or supplied with a 
combination temperature and pressure relief valve.  Verify that the 
combination temperature and pressure relief valve complies with local 
codes.  If the combination temperature and pressure relief valve does not 
comply with local codes, replace it with one that does.  Follow the 
installation instructions above on this page. 
 
Install a discharge line so that water discharged from the combination 
temperature and pressure relief valve will exit within six (6) inches (15.2 cm) 
above, or any distance below the structural floor and cannot contact any live 
electrical part. The discharge line is to be installed to allow for complete 
drainage of both the combination temperature and pressure relief valve and 
the discharge line.  The discharge opening must not be subjected to 
blockage or freezing.  DO NOT thread, plug or cap the discharge line.  It is 
recommended that a minimum clearance of four (4) inches (10.2 cm) be 
provided on the side of the water heater for servicing and maintenance of the 
combination temperature and pressure relief valve. 
 
Do not place a valve between the combination temperature and pressure 
relief valve and the tank.
