The PTR Valve must not be tampered
with or removed. The water heater must
not be operated unless this valve is
tted and in working order.
The PTR Valve should be checked for
adequate performance or replaced at
intervals not exceeding 5 years, or less
in areas where local regulations apply.
Important: The PTR Valve and its
drain outlet pipe must not be sealed or
blocked. It is normal for the PTR valve
to leak a small amount of water during
heating cycles.
Danger
Failure to operate the relief valve easing
lever at least once every six (6) months
may result in a problem with the water
heater and in some cases the tank may
explode.
Warning: A separate drain line must be
run for this relief valve. It is not permitted
to couple drain lines from relief valves
into a single common drain line.
Cold Water Connection
An approved isolating valve, non
return valve, line strainer (optional but
recommended), and union must be
tted between the supply main and the
RP¾"/20mm T tting connected to the
socket in the water heater.
All ttings must be approved by the
relevant Authority and in accordance to
the plumbing code.
