To ensure the TPR valve functions correctly, it’s important to perform regular maintenance and testing. This involves the following steps:

If you discover a faulty TPR valve, it’s essential to replace it as soon as possible. Replacing the valve is relatively straightforward, but it should be done carefully to ensure proper installation:

Water heaters are essential appliances in our homes, providing us with hot water for showers, dishes, and more. But they also come with certain safety features, and one of the most critical components is the pressure relief valve, often referred to as the TPR (Temperature and Pressure Relief) valve, T&P valve, or the pop-off valve.

2024 Uniform Plumbing Code®603.5.12 Beverage Dispensers. Potable water supply to carbonated beverage dispensers shall be protected by an air gap or a vented backflow preventer that complies with ASSE 1022. For carbonated beverage dispensers, piping material installed downstream of the backflow preventer shall not be affected by carbon dioxide gas. Non-carbonated beverage dispensers, such as ice makers and coffee machines, shall be protected by an air gap or dual check backflow preventer that comply with ASSE 1032 or ASSE 1024.

There is one application of backflow preventers that is often overlooked — the use of backflow preventers with beverage dispensers. This application is important cross-connection control. New revisions of the standards that cover the devices used in this application were recently published. These newly published standards are ASSE 1022, Backflow Preventer for Beverage Dispensing Equipment (for carbonated and non-carbonated); ASSE 1032, Dual Check Valve Type Backflow Preventers for Carbonated Beverage Dispensers, Post Mix Type, and Non-Carbonated Beverage Dispensers; and ASSE 1024, Dual Check Backflow Preventers. ASSE 1024 is generally used in conjunction with water meters; however, there have been recent code changes that make it prudent to include in this list.

The pressure relief valve, commonly known as the TPR valve or T&P valve, is an essential link in your water heater’s safety. It’s designed to prevent excessive pressure and temperature buildup within the water heater tank. When the pressure or temperature exceeds safe limits, the TPR valve releases some water and steam, relieving the pressure and preventing the tank from bursting. This safeguard is essential for your safety and the longevity of your water heater.

A faulty TPR valve can compromise the safety of your water heater and home. Look out for these warning signs that indicate a potential issue with the TPR valve:

Users may individually apply T&P notices to their ECDIS. In this example, a buoy is being added by the user. The applicable notice is provided in the top right.

While regular maintenance and testing are valuable for homeowners, professional inspection of your water heater and the TPR valve is highly recommended. A licensed plumber or technician can perform a comprehensive evaluation to ensure your water heater and safety features are functioning optimally. They will also check for potential issues such as excessive pressure or temperature, which could damage your water heater or pose a safety risk.

The beverage dispenser backflow preventer standards are another example of how standards evolve to keep current with changes in codes and new applications as appropriate when industry needs demand.

Mixing Valves and Thermostatic Mixing Valves blend hot water with cold water to maintain a constant and safe temperature outlet.

The TPR valve is typically located near the top of your water heater tank, often on the side or on the top of the tank. It features a discharge pipe that extends downward to safely direct the released hot water and steam away from the appliance and your living space. The pipe should terminate within six inches of the floor or into a suitable drain to prevent potential scalding or injury from the hot water.

ASSE 1022 and ASSE 1032 previously only covered devices used with carbonated beverage dispensers. A significant revision is that these standards now also cover non-carbonated beverage dispensers, such as coffee makers and ice machines. This change provides protection for products where the choice of backflow prevention was unclear.

In the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code®, dual check backflow preventers (ASSE 1024 devices) were added as an approved backflow preventer for non-carbonated beverage dispensers. The reasoning for this addition is that not all beverage dispensers (e.g. coffee makers) are installed with access to a drain. This makes the air gap and ASSE 1032 device impractical, as they could contribute to water damage.

Always be aware of warning signs, perform regular checks, and seek professional inspection and assistance when needed. Contact FORD’S Plumbing & Heating to inspect or replace your water heater today.
