Connecting the pressure relief valve (PRV)
A pressure relief valve is included in the box and must be
installed at the time of installation. No valve is to be placed
between the PRV and the heater. No reducing coupling or other
restriction may be installed in the discharge line. The discharge
line must be a minimum of 4" above a drain and installed such
that it allows complete drainage of both the PRV and the line.
The discharge line must be placed where it will not cause any
damage.
▶ Use the integrated port to install the PRV, see Fig. 21 [1].
▶ Support all piping.
