Copper Tube
Posted on Saturday, January 30, 2010 in construction equipment
I have water comming out of the copper tube on my water heater.?
It is dripping a few drops every 30 seconds or so. What does this mean?
It DOES NOT necessarily mean the temperature & pressure relief valve is going bad. The valve is a safety device, designed to open when a preset temp. or pressure is reached to prevent the heater from blowing up. You must think of the heater as a super-heated missle waiting to explode at any time. The relief valve alerts you that a problem exists. It is most likely working as designed. You will need to get a plumber in to look at the unit and make a determination from there.
Replacing a valve instead of looking for the reason water is draining is flat out irresponsible. Get someone to look at it before you have a hole in your roof. And don't think this can't happen, because it can. Also, be cautious when opening the valve, sometimes it won't close all the way, then you will need to replace it for sure.
