Check the temperature and pressure relief valve for proper function every year. The temperature and pressure relief valve should be check for proper function to insure the water heater is in good working condition. The T&P valve ( Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve ) is a crucial because a water heater is a pressurized tank, and all tanks need a way to release pressure if it becomes too great. As water expands, it will increase the pressure in the tank. If something goes wrong and the tank overheats, the pressure could rupture the tank. To prevent this, the T&P valve monitors both water temperature ( 210 degrees maximum ) and tank pressure ( 150 psi maximum ) and opens if either goes too high.
