This is where a temperature and pressure relief valve comes in. The purpose of the valve is to allow excessive temperature and pressure inside the storage tank to be released safely. Without the valve, your water heater may run the risk of an explosion if the temperature or pressure got higher than what the tank was designed to handle. To put it simply, storage water heaters can be hazardous or even lethal if they do not come with a temperature and pressure relief valve.

Taking a warm shower is one of life’s special little joys, and nothing kills the joy more than an unexpected rush of skin-scalding hot water. On top of enjoyment, safety is also of paramount importance when it comes to water heaters because nobody wants a freak shower accident. Let’s take a look at how Rheem’s storage water heaters are built to make sure that you and your family stay safe during shower time.

If you’re a homeowner, your family’s and home’s safety become undoubtedly high on your list of concerns. And you want to make sure that dangers at home are brought to a minimum.

If you’ve ever wondered how a temperature and pressure relief valve looks like, it’s that little lever on the top of a storage water heater. This seemingly insignificant lever is what keeps your water heater from turning into a major safety risk. In case you’re having trouble figuring out how a temperature and pressure relief valve looks like, it looks something like this:

To help put things into perspective, MythBusters conducted an experiment on excessive pressure in a storage water heater:

As such, it’s advisable to give your storage water heater some love by lifting the valve every so often to release excessive temperature and pressure—just this one simple preventive measure will keep irreparable damages off and also help your storage water heater withstand the test of time.

At Rheem, we care about your safety. Other than a built-in system to automatically monitor and control the temperature and pressure, our storage water heaters also come with a relief valve for added safety.

This 3 in lead-free MasterSeries® configurable reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly help protect against high hazard (toxic) fluids in water services to industrial installations and applications. This assembly with non-rising stem shut-off valves consists of a lead-free body, test cocks, spring loaded check valves and a pressure differential relief valve. The ductile iron body is fused with ArmorTek™ coating technology to resist corrosion due to microbial induced corrosion (MIC) or exposed metal substrate. Improved with a stainless steel relief valve seat, these rugged assemblies yield greater dependability and extended valve life. This backflow assembly contains an integrated flood sensor with SentryPlus Alert® technology to detect excessive water discharges from the relief valve. When activated through an add-on sensor connection kit, the flood sensor can send an alert to notify personnel about potential flooding. Add-on sensor connection kits are available for BMS and cellular communications.

Because water is heated in a storage tank, heating typically takes a longer time. As heating takes place, pressure in the storage tank will gradually rise. If the temperature gets higher beyond expected and the pressure is not released, it may even cause an explosion.

Unlike instant water heaters where water is heated instantly, a storage water heater pre-heats cold water and stores it in an insulated tank so that an accumulation of hot water can be readily available to be dispensed at a moment’s notice.
