There will be tears

Would Not Recommend

Bought this as a replacement for a replacement for a brand new water heater. New water heater leaked 5 gallons a day. Company sent a voucher for replacement valve, it leaked 5 gallons a day. Bought another out of pocket, it leaks 5 gallons a day. Valves are rated @ 150 psi and 210 degrees, not even close. Had to buy an adapter to run a garden hose to sump hole. In 59 trips around the sun I've never seen such p👁️ss poor quality control.

Having the same issue with repeated valve replacements indicates the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is not the problem.

Two tries and still leaks

Would Not Recommend

I bought one to replace a leaking one on my water heater when cleaning it out didn't help. It had some kind of defect in the spring mechanism that caused it to spray out from under the lever. I got another one and it still has a slow leak through the valve even though I have both thermostats set to their minimum temperature. It fills up a 5-gal bucket in about 3 weeks, so it is slow, but I would really like 0 flow through the pressure release valve unless it's an emergency.
