1400 KPA Pressure and Temp Relief Valve

1400 KPA Pressure and Temp Relief Valve

1400 KPA Pressure and Temp Relief Valve (PTR) Relieves the increase in pressure caused by water expansion. This can happen during the normal heating cycle on a hot water service. The valve will then relieve the increased pressure by releasing drips of hot water to the drain line, Should the temperature thermostat fail and not operate correctly the water will overheat.

The temperature probe will then open the PTR valve and discharge hot water to the drain waste line. It is recommended that an ECV be fitted to the cold water supply line. This will relieve cold water, not hot water, during the heating cycle, saving energy, increasing the life of the PTR. Some local governments make it mandatory to install an ECV in the cold water line. PTR and ECV valves are safety valves and should be replaced every 5 years or as the tank manufacturer states.
