@@corro-protec Respectfully Im confused What do you mean use a faucet. Im just talking about toggling the pressure release valve that’s on the side of the ho5 water heater and attached to a copper or pipe that directs the hot water down or away or outside your garage. It’s made so if the hot water pressure r@isles too high it triggers the v@lve so it won’t burst. Im saying just open the pressure release valve open while you drain the water out o it like w h3n you try to chug a bottled soda you h@ve to h@ve air on top so sod@ will come out, Also don’t forget don’t pu5 your hose on the driveway or broke walkway the water minerals will stain it . City water or well water doesn’t mater Calcium is the worst.
@@blt981 while the PRV is designed to relieve pressure, frequent use can wear it out and potentially cause leaks. Opening a hot water faucet instead is less damaging to your system, more efficient, and offers better control. Remember, the PRV is primarily a safety device, not for routine use.
@@corro-protec I do agree on using the attached drain faucet OF THE HEATER I’m saying to additionally BIRP THE HEATER BY allowing air into the heater by TOGGLING THE PRV OPEN SO WATER CAN DRAIN QUICKLY . I respectfully and professionally disagree with you. Pressure relief valves are not fragile at least American ones. They are hefty designed to be tested annually simply by toggling the test arm. Additional design of a quality PRV has a feature on the release arm to toggle open and remain open by sticking straight out at a 90 degree angle thus fully open , until you toggle down closing the valve and putting it into operation. Watts is one of the biggest producers of PRV for water heaters. In USA All info I gave you comes directly printed info on the valve and from their production Service Division.
Can you do a video how to flush the tankless hot water heater?

You have to open the safety pressure relief valve or YOUL be there forever waiting for water to drain…
Better to use a faucet so you don’t damage the valve 👀
