HM30 Temperature / Pressure Relief Valve Testing
This valve is a safety device to protect
against abnormally high temperature
and pressures. Periodic discharge of
the relief valve may indicate thermal
expansion within a closed system.
A thermal expansion tank will be needed to
allow water to expand.
If the valve discharges, it is doing so because there is
a problem. Call your Lennox dealer or qualified
technician to inspect the unit for proper
operation. Do not ignore the water disĆ
charge. Never plug the T&P relief valve.
