Explosion Hazard
• Temperature-pressure reliefvalve
must comply with ANSI Z21.22-
CSA 4,4 and ASME code.
" Properly sized temperature-relief
valve must be installed in opening
provided.
• Can result in overheating and
excessive tank pressure.
• Can cause serious injury ordeath.
This heater is provided with a properly certified combination
temperature - pressure reliefvalve by the manufacturer.
The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that
maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment of
materials as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic
Gas Shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 • CSA
4.4, and the code requirements of ASME.
If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local codes, but not
less than a combination temperature and pressure reliefvalve certified
as indicated in the above paragraph.
The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed
the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater
(150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity not less than the water
heater input rate as shown on the mode! rating piate.
For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not be
removed from its designated opening nor plugged.
The temperature-pressure reliefvalve must be installed directly into the
fitting of the water heater designed for the reliefvalve. Position the valve
downward and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only within
6 inches (15.2 cm) above, or at any distance below the structurai floor.
Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part. The
discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any
circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 feet (9,14 m), or use of more
than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge
capacity of the valve, see Figures 16 or 20.
No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief valve
and the tank. Do not connect tubing directly to discharge drain unless a
6" (15.2 cm) air gap is provided. To prevent bodily injury, hazard to life,
or property damage, the relief valve must be allowed to discharge water
in quantities should circumstances demand. If the discharge pipe is not
connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may cause
property damage.
Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold water line and the hot water
line. Make sure that the insulation is against the top cover of the heater.
Fit T & P valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation does
not interfere with the lever of the T & P valve.
Secure all insulation using tape.

Water Damage Hazard
Temperature-pressure relief valve discharge
pipe must terminate at adequate drain.
