NOTE

The maximum working pressure for installations within the Province of
Alberta is 87 psig. Therefore, a pressure & temperature relief valve with a
setting of 75 psig/190°F is supplied with Alberta shipments.

2.8 PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION

An ASME rated Pressure & Temperature (P&T) Relief Valve is factory installed on each
Innovation water heater on the hot water outlet at the top of the Recirculation Loop Assembly as
shown in Figure 2-5. With the exception of Alberta installations (see above Note), the valve
setpoint is 150 psig/190°F.

A suitable pipe joint compound should be used on the threaded connections. Any excess should
be wiped off to avoid getting any into the valve body. The relief valve should be piped to within
12 inches of the floor to prevent injury in the event of a discharge. The relief outlet piping must
be equal to the outlet size of the relief valve without reduction. No valves, restrictions, or other
