Pressure-Temperature Relief Valve - Winnebago Sunstar 26HE User Manual

SECTION 4 -
APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
To fill the Water Heater, turn the Water Pump
switch ON and open a hot water faucet anywhere
in the coach. When water begins to flow steadily
from the faucet, the Water Heater is full.
Propane Gas Operation
• Press the Water Heater switch (located on the
Systems Monitor Panel) to the ON position.
• The "Pilot Out" light will glow for about 10-
15 seconds, then it will go out. The "Heater
On" indicator will remain lit.
• If the "Pilot Out" light comes on during
operation, it means that the burner has gone
into "lockout" mode and must be restarted. If
this happens, turn the Water Heater switch
OFF for approximately 5 minutes, then turn
back on.
Further Information
See the Water Heater manufacturer's
operation manual provided in your InfoCase for
complete operating instructions, safety warnings,
and maintenance information.
PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE
RELIEF VALVE
On occasion, water may be seen seeping from
the water heater pressure temperature relief
valve. This is no cause for repair or replacement
of the valve.

-Typical View
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.
3. Pull the handle of the P-T valve straight out
and allow water to flow until it stops.
