Thermal Expansion y
Determine if a check valve exists in the inlet water line. Check with your local water
utility. It may have been installed in the cold water line as a separate back flow preventer,or it
may be part of a pressure reducing valve,water meter or water soften ner.A check valve located i j
the cold water inlet line can cause what is referred to ao a"closed water system".A cold rn
water inlet line with no check valve or back flow prevention device is referred to as an"open"
water system.
As water is heated, it expands in volume and creates an increase in the pressure within the water
system.This action io referred to as"thermal expansion".In an"open"water system,
expanding water which exceeds the capacity of the water heater flows back into the city main
where the pressure is easily dissipated. •
A"closed water system",however, prevents the expanding water from flowing back into the
main supply line,and the result of"thermal expansion"can create a rapid and dangerous
pressure increase in the water heater and system piping.This rapid pressure increase can quickly
reach the safety setting of the relief valve,causing it to operate during each heating cycle.
Thermal expansion,and the resulting rapid,and repeated expansion and contraction of
components in the water heater and piping system can cause premature failure of the relief
valve,and possibly the heater itself. Keplacing the relief valve will not correct the problem!
O
The suggested method of controlling thermal expansion is to inotall an expansion tank in the cold 'g
water line between the water heater and the check valve(see illustration below).The expansion n@
tank is designed with an air cushion built in that compresses as the system pressure increases, 3
thereby relieving the over pressure condition and eliminating the repeated operation of the relief
valve.Other methods of controlling thermal expansion are aloo available.Contact your installing N
contractor,water supplier or plumbing inspector for additional information regarding this subject.

ACAUTION: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this water heater that has not been
used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!!To
dissipate such gas and to reduce risk of injury, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several
minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is o
present,there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. Do not y
