Easy question: I hope re water heaters
Do all water heaters have a pressure relief valve of the type
with the handle to test them? Ours is an oil-fired unit, works great, I drain out hte crud approxumately monthly, give or take. I was looking at the pressure relief valve today: There is no mechanical way of opening or testing it. It doesn't look like anything has been removed or jerry-rigged; I'm pretty sure it's the original part, unmodified. But there's no handle or pin or anything to see if it works or if it's plugged, whatever. A quick check via Google didn't show me anything that looked like mine, so thought I'd see what experience here might say. Should I be looking into this further? I can provide a picture if necessary - didn't think about taking a pic until just now. TIA, Pop --- No one should ever have to unsubscribe from a list they did not intentionally subscribe to. |
