It is very important that the easing mechanism is operated slowly. The TPR has an auxiliary relief
device fitted to the side of the valve body if the TPR is operated suddenly this will open and discharge
water from drain line.
Warning: Stand clear of the drain line's point of discharge water discharged from the drain line will be
hot. As water is heated it expands by approximately 1/50 of its volume. This expansion causes the
pressure in the water heater to rise. To control the pressure in the water heater the Expansion Control
Valve will open and relieve a small amount of water during heating, this is normal operation.
If dripping is seen from the TPR drain it indicates that there may be a problem with the operation of the
ECV;contact the Rheem Service department.
Once heating is complete there should be no sign of dripping from either of the relief valve drains.
Continuous leakage of water from the relief valve may indicate a problem with the water heater or
valves; contact the Rheem Service department.
Warning: Never block or obstruct drain lines from the water heater. Doing so will prevent the correct
operation of the TPR or ECV and cause a hazard.
