Pressure relief valve distance from floor. I explain that it was routed to a drain to prevent a mess if it discharges but that you would want to see water on the floor if it was dripping or pressure had blown off so that you know. Improved design uses c900 pipe gaskets in bell to securely retain pvc pipe to valve. The tpr valve will activate if either water temperature measured in degrees fahrenheit or pressure measured in pounds per square inch psi exceed safe levels. Valves are for low seating or unseating pressure applications only.

Located on the bottom of a tank floor type pressure relief valves open up when excess groundwater is present to prevent floating which can cause cracking and other serious issues. Design uses c900 pipe gaskets in bell to securely retain pvc pipe to valve. Means a combination relief valve designed to function as both a temperature relief and a pressure relief. The temperature pressure relief valve or tpr valve on any heated appliance that contains water such as a heating boiler hot water tank water heater water cylinder must have a drain line or discharge tube properly installed routed and made of proper materials.

The pressure relief valve extension is plastic and has a couple of elbows leading it to a drain.

The valve s relief of elevated liquid gas or steam pressures prevents damage to the system.

Trumbull also makes wall type pressure relief valves for installation in side walls of tanks. C900 pipe gasket retains the pvc pipe floor type hydrostatic tank pressure relief valves quadroseal gasket design available in ductile iron and type 316 stainless steel floor type pressure relief. 3 each tpr valve must have its own discharge piping not shared with any other devices or equipment. So reliable it s legendary.

4 termination of the discharge piping can be to any of the following. Relief valves are designed to open at a preset pressure or temperature level and relieve the system when it has exceeded the desired level. Long live the mud valve.

The discharge pipe has both a maximum and minimum distance from the floor according to state plumbing code. These valves are for low seating or unseating pressure applications only.
