Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures, a temperature and pressure relief valve
must be installed in the opening on the on-demand storage tank. This valve must be design certified by
a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of the production of listed
equipment or materials as meeting the requirements for Releif Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems,
ANSI Z21.22. The function of the temperature and pressure relief valve is to discharge water in large
quantities in the event of excessive temperature or pressure developing in the water heater. The valve’s
relief pressure must not exceed the working pressure of the water heater as stated on the data plate.
