Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve, Universal Fit.

Rheem Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve – Code-Compliant Safety for Water Heater Systems

The Rheem Temperature & Pressure (T&P) Relief Valve provides essential safety protection for tank-type water heaters. Designed to discharge water if internal pressure or temperature exceeds safe limits, this valve helps prevent tank rupture or system failure. Factory-calibrated to open at 210°F and 150 psi, it complies with key plumbing safety standards including ASME and CSA.

This valve is approved for use in both gas and electric water heaters and is constructed with a corrosion-resistant bronze body for extended service life in potable water systems.
