The water heater temperature and relief valve is a very important component designed to release water pressure from your tank in the event you have too high of water pressure coming into your home or if the thermostat overheats.
Your temperature and relief valve is located near or on the top of your water heater.
In some instance we have seen these valves removed or blocked off in order to prevent leaking or flooding based on where the water heater is located, however removing or blocking these valves can be disastrous not to mention potentially explosive.
In situations where you're unable to run a line from the pressure relief valve to the exterior of the home, we recommend eliminating the problem all together by hiring a licensed, experienced technician to install a special valve called a Watts2010 Valve.
