If your water heater doesn’t have a TPR valve or if the TPR valve ceases to function properly, your water heater can literally blow up and put the safety of your family and home at risk.

This little device is vital to the overall safety of your water heater, your home and your family and it needs to be checked, inspected, maintained and/or replaced to prevent overheating and excessive pressurization.

Water heaters can start to shake just like your clothes steam and moisture produced is greater than normal. The steam increases the pressure inside your water heater causing it to become unstable. Water heaters can start to shake just like your clothes washer does when it’s overloaded or unbalanced. This is where the TPR Valve comes into play. When something goes wrong, the valve automatically opens to release excess pressure through a discharge line.

We gush over technological advances to our shiny Sub-Zeros and glitzy Viking ranges, but when was the last time you heard someone rave about the modern features found in their new water heater. Water heaters are often taken for granted and don’t possess the “Bling Factor” of other home appliances but their attributes are attractive in their own way.

The AVG 2NV20-20F Dual check valve provides protection in low hazard applications, like meter connections on domestic properties.

The TPR valve is a special safety valve and it’s responsible for making sure your hot temperature-pressure relief valve water tank stays within its designed temperature and pressure limits.

It’s located on top or on the side near the top of your water heater. The valve has a lever that can be lifted up or down and a discharge pipe that runs from the valve straight down to the bottom of your water heater.

The AVG Dual Check Valve is designed to prevent cross contamination of non potable water into safe drinking water. The two spring loaded check valves remain tightly closed until there is a demand for water down stream. In the event that there is reverse of flow direction, the check valves will close and back-flow is prevented.

They have a wide range of fancy new built-in features, but star billing goes to the safety feature that protects our homes and families 24/7; the Temperature Pressure Relief valve or TPR Valve.
