After writing a blog post about leaking temperature and pressure relief (TPR) valves at water heaters, I learned that this particular issue seems to completely befuddle folks. In the two years that I ...

When a temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve at a water heater leaks, it's usually a simple fix; just replace the valve. These valves cost less than $15, and replacing the valve is a very basic ...

Q: My water heater leaks from some type of a brass valve on the side of the tank near the top. There is a pipe that comes out of the valve at a right angle that looks like it goes through the wall.

In steam boiler applications, pressure relief valves (PRVs) are the silent sentinels — the last line of defense against potentially disastrous overpressure situations. In a perfect world, boiler ...

For the past 15 years, pilot-operated safety relief valves (POSRVs) have effectively and reliably protected economizers on Section I power boilers in overpressure situations, working in tandem with ...
