Water heaters work hard every day to provide us with the comfort of hot water, but they can also become dangerous if not properly protected. That's where a reliable pressure relief valve becomes essential – acting as a silent guardian for your home's plumbing system.
When water heats up, it expands and builds pressure. Without proper relief, this pressure can reach dangerous levels, potentially causing tank failures, flooding, or even explosions. This 150psi temperature and pressure relief valve is specifically designed to prevent such disasters by automatically releasing excess pressure and temperature when they exceed safe limits.
Constructed from lead-free brass, this valve offers exceptional corrosion resistance and longevity in your wet plumbing environment. It's engineered to handle extreme temperature ranges from -65°F to +250°F, making it suitable for various climate conditions. The innovative push-button design allows for easy testing and maintenance, while the streamlined structure ensures reliable operation when you need it most.
Setting up your safety valve is straightforward thanks to the universal 3/4-inch NPT male connector that fits most residential systems. Before installation, simply wrap an appropriate amount of Teflon tape on the threads to prevent leaks – a small step that ensures years of trouble-free service. The compact design fits perfectly into tight spaces where larger valves might struggle, making it ideal for both new installations and replacements.
This valve carries multiple certifications including NSF 337 lead-free certification and meets ASSE 1003 and CSA B356 industry standards. These certifications mean you're not just buying a valve – you're investing in certified safety for your home. Whether you're a homeowner looking to protect your family or a plumber installing reliable equipment, this pressure relief valve delivers the protection and durability you need.
