The water heater will operate until a water temperature of up to 65°C is
reached, depending upon the thermostat setting. A Rheemglas
can deliver hot water at this temperature. A RheemPlus
temperature limited at the outlet to supply water not exceeding 50°C to
fixtures used primarily for personal hygiene.

RELIEF VALVES
Temperature Pressure Relief Valve
This water heater incorporates a temperature
pressure relief valve located near the top of the
water heater. This valve is essential for the
water heater's safe operation.
It is possible for the valve to discharge a
quantity of water through the drain line during
each heating period. This quantity should be
equal to approximately 1/50 of the hot water
used, as water expands by this volume when
heated.
Expansion Control Valve
In many areas, including South Australia,
Western Australia and scaling water areas, it is
mandatory an expansion control valve is fitted
to the cold water line to the water heater.
The expansion control valve will discharge the quantity of water from its drain
line during the heating period instead of the temperature pressure relief valve as
it has a lower pressure rating.
