Giải thích
Every storage water heater must be equipped with an approved combination temperature and pressure relief valve, typically rated to open at 210 degrees F and 150 psi. A vacuum relief valve prevents siphoning of the tank on bottom-fed heaters but does not relieve pressure or temperature. A backflow preventer and a pressure reducing valve address contamination and supply pressure, not tank overpressure or overheating.
