 temperature pressure relief valve, hints from a home inspectorThe temperature pressure relief valve (also called tp valve, pt valve, t and p valve, srv, etc.) Is an important component added to the water heater. Should something go wrong that allowed the water heater to continue heating the water past the point of safety (from excessive pressure or temperature) the properly operating and installed tp valve would release built-up pressure and hot water to a safe discharge point. The pressure temperature relief valve output should always be directed outside the building and downwards, about 6 to 12 inches off the surface of the ground or flatwork concrete. If the temperature pressure valve drips, it should be replaced. Improperly installed tp valves should be removed and replaced.
