PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE
RELIEF VALVE
On occasion, water may be seen seeping from
the water heater pressure temperature relief
valve. This is no cause for repair or replacement
of the valve.
Normally there is an air gap at the top of the
water heater tank, which acts as a pressure buffer.
In time, however, heated water may expand and
fill this air gap, causing a slight increase in water
pressure. This may cause the P-T valve to “weep”
until the air gap is manually replaced.
To Replace the Air Gap:
1. Turn off the Water Heater switch and
incoming water supply (city water and/or
demand pump).
2. Open a faucet in the motorhome to relieve
water pressure.
3. Pull the handle of the P-T valve straight out
and allow water to flow until it stops.
4. Let the handle of the P-T valve snap shut.
5. Close the faucet and turn on the water supply
before switching the water heater on.
Manually operate the pressure temperature
relief valve at least once a year.
PROPANE GAS FURNACE
