The most neglected safety device on fired pressure vessels is the Temperature and Pressure (T&P) relief valve on water heaters.

Check your Gutter for leaves and other debris. Walk around your property and look for Termite tunnels. (dirt/earth stuck where it shoudn't be that termites use to get into the timber in your house) . Look for damp areas, mould, anything that doesn't look right. Check decks, pergolas,any exterior structures. Make sure the metal fittings are not starting to rust. Check if the structure is securely fixed to the house. Check exterior steps for rot or other damage. Early detection of problems can save you thousands. Check inside too. Look in the back of wardrobes, especially if a wall ajoins a bathroom or laundry. Mould or damp areas anywhere are potential problems. Lastly, get up in the roofspace through the manhole with a torch. Be careful! Only stand on the bottom stringer of the roof trusses. Do not stand on the battens the gyprock is attached to. Check for anything that shouldn't be there. Maybe set off a few Roach bombs up there. Call me if you need a hand.

Sometimes you will hear the Tank filling with water. This means that the tank had a build up of air preventing the tank from filling. This sometimes happens over time or if repairs have been made and the water supply valve is turned off and on several times. Holding the valve open until the water starts to come out of the overflow tells you the tank is full.

Did you know that your water heater will function better and be safer if you do a little routine maintenance? Some water-heater experts recommend testing every six months. More frequent testing can reduce the chance of a leak caused by mineral and corrosion build up. The temperature and pressure relief valve (TPR valve) opens to release pressure build up in the water heater when the temperature or the pressure get dangerously high, preventing a possible explosion.

To test the valve to ensure that it’s working properly, simply raise and lower the test lever several times so it lifts the brass stem that it’s fastened to. Hot water should rush out of the end of the drainpipe. If no water flows through the pipe or you get just a trickle, replace the valve.

However, if a leak results immediately after a test, simply operate the test lever several times to try to free lodged debris that may be preventing the valve from seating properly. If the valve is doing its job and hot water is dripping or spewing out of the TPR drain valve, turn down the temperature on the water-heater controller and/or turn down the water pressure. But I think, if it continues to leak have a plumber replace the valve especially if its over 5 years old. 301 Moved Permanently Moved Permanently The document has moved here.
