Rv Water Heater Pop Off Valve Leaking

The water will leak out but not air.

Rv water heater pop off valve leaking.

Thanks for the replies. If the valve has a leak we can replace it with a new relief valve a very common water heater repair. The leak stopped for awhile and is now back. That doesn t make sense to me.

Remove the overflow pipe from the pressure relief valve. The camco 1 2 inch temperature and pressure relief valve with 4 inch probe protects the rv water heater from excessive temperature and water pressure with corrosion resistant metal. Following their advice i turned off the water pump opened the the pop off valve and ran a inside faucet to create a air pocket. This valve is set at 150 psi and is crafted with epoxy coated probes to prevent corrosion buildup.

Close the cold water cut off valve going into the water heater. If you have any questions about why your water heater s relief valve is leaking or if you d like a plumbing system serviced or installed in your home contact cabrillo your bay area plumbing heating and air conditioning contractor. Open the valve at the bottom and the pressure relief valve for a minute to drain a little water out of the tank and relieve the pressure. If a pressure relief valve for a boiler is accidentally installed on a water heater it will leak like crazy from the start.

These valves may look identical but they re set to go off at 30 psi. Help me understand the concept.
