Yes.
Was it a pressure-relief valve, or a combination temperature-pressure relief valve?
If it’s a TPRV, the sensor must extend into the top of the tank (generally) a minimum of 6 inches.
If it’s a PRV, it may have been used in conjunction with a Watts 210 gas shutoff valve.
Do you have any additional information or actual pictures?
cant fid a pic but it’s really a pressure-relief valve
OK…the valve is not independent, it is connecteted to the hot water line
There is no issue with having a PRV on the system. The question is - was over-heat and over-pressure protection present on the tank?
The diagram you have posted is insufficient to determine if the tank is properly protected.
ok…
-valve installed = yes
-is tank protected = yes
if the pressure goes up will it activate the valve or go through the hot water line. to me a set up like that , where the pressure could go up the line doesnt make sense
What type of protection was provided for over-temperature?
