Mains Pressure Hot Water Cylinders
The Temperature Pressure Relief Valve and Cold Water Expansion valve are especially important for mains pressure cylinders, as it protects the hot water cylinder from excess pressures and temperatures by discharging water.
It is best to purge these valves every 6 – 12 months. If the water does not flow freely when the valve is opened it may be faulty or mean there is a problem with the system.
