code doesn't allow the outlet of a temperature and pressure relief valve to
be reduced although you can bush down the inlet

As you have been advised replace valve or replace the heater
to replace the valve get valve and one compression fitting size
to match valve outlet, fitting can be reducing type
3/4" FPT to 5/8" OD on piece of tubing small pipe wrench
adjustable and you are ready to get it done 1/2 hour finish

Hi:

Need some advice on this. We have an older mobile home, 1973.
Currently on our second hot water heater, installed about 13 years
ago. It is a natural gas 30 gallon unit. The temperature is set at a
low-warm about 120* I am getting a slow but constant discharge
from the temperature/pressure release valve. The drain line goes
thru the floor and discharges under the home.

What now?
