Rv water heater pop off valve leaking.

If a pressure relief valve for a boiler is accidentally installed on a water heater it will leak like crazy from the start. A webcast viewer asks gary bunzer the rv doctor if he should be worried about a leaky hot water pressure relief valve. If the valve has a leak we can replace it with a new relief valve a very common water heater repair. Thanks for the replies.

That doesn t make sense to me. First turn off the gas to the water heater or flip the breaker if it s electric. Following their advice i turned off the water pump opened the the pop off valve and ran a inside faucet to create a air pocket. The camco 1 2 inch temperature and pressure relief valve with 4 inch probe protects the rv water heater from excessive temperature and water pressure with corrosion resistant metal.

Help me understand the concept. Close the cold water cut off valve going into the water heater. The water will leak out but not air. Remove the overflow pipe from the pressure relief valve.

This valve is set at 150 psi and is crafted with epoxy coated probes to prevent corrosion buildup.
