T&P Relief Valve and Pipe Insulation (Some Models)
1. Locate the temperature and pressure relief valve on
the water heater (also known as a T&P relief valve).
See Figure 16.
2. Locate the slit running the length of the T&P relief
valve insulation.
3. Spread the slit open and fit the insulation over the T&P
relief valve. See Figure 16. Apply gentle pressure to
the insulation to ensure that it is fully seated on the
T&P Relief Valve. Once seated, secure the insulation
with duct tape.
IMPORTANT: The insulation or tape should not block
or cover the T&P relief valve drain opening. Also, the
insulation or tape should not block or hinder access to
the manual relief lever (Figure 16).
4. Locate the hot water (outlet) & cold water (inlet) pipes
to the water heater.
5. Locate the slit running the length of a section of pipe
insulation.
6. Spread the slit open and slip the insulation over the
cold water (inlet) pipe. Apply gentle pressure along the
length of the insulation to ensure that it is fully seated
around the pipe. Also, ensure that the base of the
insulation is flush with the water heater. Once seated,
secure the insulation with duct tape.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the hot water (outlet) pipe.
8. Add additional sections of pipe insulation as needed.
