No parts (stop valve, pressure reducer, etc.) must be placed between the
pressure limiting valve and the cold water inlet of the water heater, apart
from a copper pipe.
Note: since limited water discharge from pressure limiting valve is normal in
the heating operation, the discharge pipe needs be connected to external
drain.

20 minutes according to the capacity of the appliance, water should
start dripping from the drain outlet. This is normal and results from the
