    Thanks for inspiring me to buy the pressure relief valve and to try to replace it myself on my 7 year old leaking water heater. As a last gasp before installation, I tried the "exercise the valve" method, and it worked! Initially, I had tried to open it, but it made the leak much worse, which led me to buy the replacement.

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  5 лет назад +2

      Awesome! Glad to hear that worked for you! :) Thank you for coming back to leave a comment. If the relief valve was not too expensive, I would just leave it as a spare. It might start leaking again down the road.

    Love your videos! You have saved me so much money and even better, educated me on how water heaters, heat pumps and air conditioners actually work. You methods are awesome. Unfortunately my water heater tank is in my attic. Yes, I know. But regardless, thank you for making these video's. I just replaced mine (20 years old) and they wanted $2k to do it! I did it for the cost of the Water Tank from Lowes. Take care.

    You're the coolest for making videos like this. Had a plumber come by and try to tell me I needed to replace the whole water heater. After some research, I went out and bought this part, and thanks to you it's only costing me about 20 bucks to try to fix it on my own.

      I too had a company tell me I need a new system because of mineral deposits that can create a shelf inside the tank and create a barrier since it was running. I also had no air in my expansion tank and he said it was bad but no water came out.. all I need to do is put air back in the expansion tank and replace this valve I believe. I still get water coming out steady when I open the valve so I think his deposit shelf theory is bogus.

    @Sparky-ww5re Год назад +2

    Very educational video. Here's something else often overlooked. Just as important as the pressure and temperature ratings (150psi/210°F) is the BTU/hr rating of the valve. The BTU/hr valve rating should always exceed the BTU/hr rating of the heater, as shown on the nameplate on a gas water heater, for an electric water heater, multiply the wattage by 3.4121 to find the BTU/hr. In case the thermostat fails to shut off the gas burner or electric elements, the valve must be sized to discharge the overheated water at a greater rate than it's being heated at, to prevent pressure build up and explosion. While this is happening, cold water enters the tank and this is how the T&P valve moderates the temperature and pressure to keep everyone safe during a malfunction.

    yeah, I check mine every couple of months. I had a plumber come and check the wall furnace for carbon monoxide and he said he’ll check the hot water and he wanted to replace the pressure relief valve for $450. I said “no there is no problem with it because I check it”.

  • @MrRickyt88
    @MrRickyt88 2 года назад +1

    Thanks for your videos they’re helpful. I think it’s best to drain the tank a bit and then swap them out just in case. You don’t want to get water on the gas valve.

  • @brianmutascio8325
    @brianmutascio8325 6 лет назад +1

    I prefer the vacuum method. If tank has both hot & cold shut off valves, I only use them, & pull vacuum thru relief valve, then swap em out fast like you did. But some tanks don’t have the hot water shut off valve, only cold water shut off valve, and you have to trust the occupants will remember not to turn on hot water faucets, after you explain to them. Every house is different :) great video !

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  6 лет назад +2

      Yeah, the vacuum method is lot faster :) So far I only got one "shower" from a pressure relief valve where someone opened up a faucet on me. I rarely see a shut off on the hot side though. Usually only the cold.

    My 3 year old water heater had an occasional drip from the tpr valve. Plumber said I needed an expansion tank but no one in my city has one, plus the old water heater in here lasted 13 years without one. Another plumber said that those valves can go bad and to replace them ever 2 to 4 years. I replaced it last week and so far no leaking.

    Thank you so much for clear explanation of water heater safety valve assembly function. I have exactly same problem cup of water after few days at bottom. I was very afraid to drain from bottom valve which is normal for those who flush there water heater for longevity but since I have unit in basement don’t know how to get ride of couple gallon water. I guess will have go upstairs and discard in a bucket. Pulling that safety valve was really nervous 😬 but if I can stop water would help. Do you still think my hot water heater is going bad? Everyone I spoke to says once you see water at bottom means time to replace but no one willing to help do what you just did since it’s a small job.

    So I decided to do some maintenance on my water heater which is no more than 6 months old. Shut off the water supply to the house, opened a faucet, drained the tank, worked the t&p valve. Than after it was emptied I open the municipal water supply to the house, tank is filled up, made sure air was out of the faucets than called it done. Never accounted for the thermal expansion so around 4 hours later the t&p valve goes off in the garage but luckily I was in the living room when it happened & when I walked into my garage water was just gushing out Non-Stop. So I shut off the water supply to the whole house because the ball valve at the tank still allows some water to sep through. Anyways now when I turn on the main water,that little bit of seepage that gets into the tank is enough for water to just keep streaming through the t&p valve... Also there's not much water coming out of out shower now.

I just had a pressure relief valve replaced on my tank about two days ago. and now I'm not getting any hot water in the bathroom, and the water in the bathtub is not turning on. So can you tell me what you think that could be causing that to happen. Thanks.

    Mine was doing the same thing, watched your video, replaced the valve, and the new one is still popping, or leaking. Bucket underneath drain pipe. Probably about 1 litre since last night. I think it's popping because when I first installed it, it was leaking, I cycled the valve a few times, and it seated. No leaking, or drips, but kept the bucket underneath as a precaution. When I checked it in the morning it wasn't leaking or dripping but had about a litre of water in it. I reduced the heat from where it was when I noticed the problem the first time. The water is not very hot at all, I can keep my hand under it no problem. Any advice would be awesome. Gas hot water tank. I actually think it's the same one you have in the video. Anything else I can try looking at?

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  5 лет назад +1

    Good video thanks! How do you know if the valve is a short or long one prior to swapping it out?

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  5 лет назад +3

      Usually it is easy to just visually see which one it is. If you look in my description, there is a link to the long shank and short shank that you can look at for an example. If you are not sure though, I would go with a long shank. You can replace a short with a long but you cannot replace a long with a short ;) I know techs that only carry long shank valves on their trucks and replace everything with the long ones.

    Great video. I followed method 1 and had no issues until I got to step 6. I can't seem to remove the valve. I'm using a crescent wrench, but it's not budging at all. Any suggestions?

      If you have a mallet, try hitting the wrench (not full power, just repetitive firm hits) and that will usually break it free.

      Got it off and installed the new valve. Thanks so much! Do you recommend testing the valve after everything is done?

      @@PBM-ed4dc Glad to hear that! I never test new ones, why create a chance for a leak? :)

      Unfortunately a few hours later it was leaking again. Is it possible that I didn't tighten it enough or could it be a problem with the expansion tank? (I did not test it, per your advice.)

      If the new one is leaking again, that likely does mean that there's a problem with the expansion tank then.

    I had a water heater that had the T & P relief valve start leaking after it was 8 years old. I replaced the relief valve but it still kept leaking. There was never an expansion tank installed. I am guessing that at some time a check valve was added from the water supply to prevent the excess pressure going back to the source. So if your T & P relief valve is leaking, your expansion tank if you have one is bad, or you need to add one.

    Great video....can you still do this if you have an expansion tank?

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  5 лет назад +1

      To be honest, where I live/work, I have yet to see a water heater with an expansion tank (and I've worked on hundreds) so I can't give you a good answer.

    I've got a leaky pressure valve on a Bradford White water heater. Is it okay to purchase a Cash Acme brand from Home Depot as a replacement or should I buy a Bradford White valve? Home Depot Q&A says the Cash Acme is a direct replacement, but I'd rather hear an experts opinion.

    My pressure relief valve is on top of the Hot Water Heater. I’ll have to make several 90* turns. My question: is there a flexible pipe that I can use from the PR valve to the drain pipe going to the outside? Thank You!
