On occasion, water may be seen seeping from

of the valve.

Normally there is an air gap at the top of the
water heater tank, which acts as a pressure buffer.
In time, however, heated water may expand and
fill this air gap, causing a slight increase in water
pressure. This may cause the P-T valve to "weep"
until the air gap is manually replaced.
CAUTION
Hot water can escape from tank causing
injury. Operate this valve only when the
tank water is cold.
To Replace the Air Gap:
1. Turn off the Water Heater switch and
incoming water supply (city water and/or
demand pump).
2. Open a faucet in the motorhome to relieve
water pressure.
