A new combination temperature and pressure relief valve, complying with the Standard for Relief Valves 

and Automatic Gas Shut-Off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, is supplied and must 

remain in the opening provided and marked for the purpose on the water heater. No valve of any type 

should be installed between the relief valve and the tank. Local codes shall govern the installation of 

relief valves.
