This condition can cause waterto set in the outlet drain resulting in corrosion to the temperature and pressure relief valve andcause it not to engage when needed. This is an extremely hazardous condition, stronglyrecommend conditions are corrected by licensed HVAC contractor.

GlossaryGlossary
Term DefinitionExpansion Tank An expansion tank or expansion vessel is a small tank used to
protect closed (not open to atmospheric pressure) water heatingsystems and domestic hot water systems from excessivepressure. The tank is partially filled with air, whosecompressibility cushions shock caused by water hammer andabsorbs excess water pressure caused by thermal expansion.
GFCI A special device that is intended for the protection of personnelby de-energizing a circuit, capable of opening the circuit wheneven a small amount of current is flowing through the groundingsystem.
TPR Valve The thermostat in a water heater shuts off the heating sourcewhen the set temperature is reached. If the thermostat fails, thewater heater could have a continuous rise in temperature andpressure (from expansion of the water). The temperature andpressure could continue to rise until the pressure exceeds thepressure capacity of the tank (300 psi). If this should happen, thesuper-heated water would boil and expand with explosive force,and the tank would burst. The super-heated water turns to steamand turns the water heater into an unguided missile. To preventthese catastrophic failures, water heaters are required to beprotected for both excess temperature and pressure. Usually, themeans of protection is a combination temperature- and pressure-relief valve (variously abbreviated as T&P, TPV, TPR, etc.). Mostof these devices are set to operate at a water temperature above200° F and/or a pressure above 150 psi. Do not attempt to testthe TPR valve yourself! Most water heating systems should beserviced once a year as a part of an annual preventivemaintenance inspection by a professional heating and coolingcontractor.
