Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve or relief valve line under any circumstances! Explosion and
property damage, serious injury, or death may result.
To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:
• Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the
discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of severe burns or property damage should the relief
valve discharge.
• Discharge line must be as short as possible and the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout
its entire length.
• Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve and terminate at least 6" above the fl oor drain, making
discharge clearly visible.
• The discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375
or greater.
• Do not pipe discharge to any location where freezing could occur.
• No valve may be installed between the relief valve and heater or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place
any obstruction in the discharge line.
• Test the operation of the relief valve after fi lling and pressurizing the system by lifting the lever. Make sure
the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, immediately replace with a new properly
rated relief valve.
• Test T&P valve at least once annually to ensure the waterway is clear. If valve does not operate, turn the
heater "off " and call a plumber immediately.
• Take care whenever operating relief valve to avoid scalding injury or property damage.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE GUIDELINES COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF RELIEF VALVE OPERATION,
RESULTING IN POSSIBILITY OF SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
RE-INSPECTION OF T&P RELIEF VALVES: T&P valves must be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE
YEARS, and replaced if necessary, by a licensed plumbing contractor or qualifi ed service technician to ensure
that the product has not been aff ected by corrosive water conditions and to ensure that the valve and discharge
line have not been altered or tampered with illegally. Certain naturally occuring conditions may corrode the
valve and its components over time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such conditions can only be detected if
the valve and its components are physically removed and inspected. Do not attempt to conduct an inspection
on your own. Contact your plumbing contractor for a re-inspection to assure continued safety.
FAILURE TO RE-INSPECT THE T&P VALVE AS DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE AND/
OR PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR
DEATH.
F. Scalding
This water heater can deliver scalding water. Be careful whenever
using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances such as
dishwashers and automatic clothes washers may require increased
water temperatures. By setting the thermostat on this heater to obtain
the increased water temperature required by these appliances you
may create the potential for scald injury.
To protect against injury, install a mixing valve in the water system. This
valve will reduce point of use discharge temperatures by mixing cold
and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from
your local plumbing supplier.
Table 3 details the relationship of water temperature and time with
regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the
safest water temperature for your applications.
