A water heater pressure relief valve typically lasts 3 to 5
years and should be replaced according to manufacturer guidelines, even if it appears to be working well, as valves can wear out over time and become less responsive; regular testing is crucial to ensure proper function. Key points about water heater relief valves: Maintenance is key: Regularly test the valve by pulling the lever to check for water flow; if there are signs of malfunction like constant leaking or no water discharge during testing, replace it immediately. Factors affecting lifespan: Water quality, system usage, and maintenance can impact the valve's lifespan. Signs of replacement needed: Visible corrosion, leaking, or failure to open at the set pressure.
A water heater expansion tank typically lasts 5 to 10 years,
but can last longer if it's well maintained. Factors that can affect the lifespan of an expansion tank include: Usage: How often the tank is used Water pressure: Whether the tank's pressure matches the incoming water pressure Quality: The quality of the tank itself Temperature: The temperature of the fluid in the tank To maximize the life of an expansion tank, you can: Match the pressures: Ensure the tank's pressure matches the incoming water pressure Inspect regularly: Check the tank for damage or wear, such as leaks or rust, at least once a year Use a heat trap: A heat trap can prevent hot water from circulating and overheating the fluid in the tank Signs that your expansion tank may need to be replaced include: Dripping water from the tank Water bleeding out of the air valve Little black flecks in your toilet water A "thud" sound when you tap on the tank
请教大家，18个月新的Gas Water Heater Leaking from Drain Valve，会是什么问题？ 是安装问题还是机器本身问题? 谢谢!
应该底下有个盘子再接水管穿墙出去，是这样的
