RVs, which do not have Suburban or Atwood <strong>water<\/strong> heaters, are usually high end <strong>motor<\/strong> homes which may have either instantaneous <strong>water<\/strong> heaters or some <strong>type<\/strong> of <strong>engine<\/strong> assist <strong>water<\/strong> heaters. Here we&#8217;re <strong>going<\/strong> discuss leaking, weeping <strong>water<\/strong> heaters, or more specifically weeping <strong>pressure<\/strong> temperature relief valves. (Commonly referred to as P&amp;T relief value).<\/p>\n<p>P&amp;T relief valves can be an area of confusion for Rv&#8217;ers until they understand the purpose and function of the P&amp;T valve and whether or not they are functioning properly. In other words a P&amp;T valve which is always weeping way not necessarily be bad. Let me explain why.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PURPOSE<\/strong> OF P&amp;T <strong>RELIEF<\/strong> VALVE<\/p>\n<p><strong>RV<\/strong> <strong>water<\/strong> systems are closed systems, which mean there must be a means of relieving excess <strong>pressure<\/strong> when it develops. The obvious question then is what would cause excess <strong>pressure<\/strong> to develop in the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>tank<\/strong>. We know H2O expands when heated so we might then conclude there is always excess <strong>pressure<\/strong> in the <strong>water<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>tank<\/strong>. This is true&#8230;only to a <strong>point<\/strong> however. A properly functioning <strong>RV<\/strong> <strong>water<\/strong> heater always has an air <strong>expansion<\/strong> <strong>pocket<\/strong> in the top of the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>tank<\/strong>. What is an air <strong>expansion<\/strong> <strong>pocket<\/strong>? It is simply an air <strong>pocket<\/strong>, which naturally forms in the <strong>water<\/strong> heater <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>tank<\/strong> when it is filled.<\/p>\n<p>As long as this air <strong>expansion<\/strong> <strong>pocket<\/strong> is of sufficient <strong>size<\/strong>, the only time the P&amp;T relief <strong>water<\/strong> valve will weep is during the heating <strong>cycle<\/strong>. However, as hot <strong>water<\/strong> is taken from the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>tank<\/strong> the <strong>size<\/strong> of the air <strong>expansion<\/strong> <strong>pocket<\/strong> will diminish eventually to the <strong>point<\/strong> where the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>tank<\/strong> is practically full of <strong>water<\/strong>. When it reaches this <strong>point<\/strong> the inside <strong>pressure<\/strong> of the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>tank<\/strong> will almost always be excessive ( over the 125\/150 psi rating for the P&amp;T valve) resulting in excessive weeping of the P&amp;T valve. Rv&#8217;ers not aware of this may mistakenly conclude the P&amp;T valve is bad when it is not. To further complicate matters they may replace the valve and in the <strong>process<\/strong> re-introduce an adequate air <strong>expansion<\/strong> <strong>pocket<\/strong> and then it will naturally work fine&#8230;. until the air <strong>expansion<\/strong> <strong>pocket<\/strong> is diminished again and the whole <strong>process<\/strong> repeats itself. Rv&#8217;ers replacing numerous P&amp;T valves are most likely doing it needlessly. So what is the answer? Reintroduce an adequate air <strong>expansion<\/strong> <strong>pocket<\/strong> and this is how it is done:<\/p>\n<p>1. Turn <strong>water<\/strong> heater off.<\/p>\n<p>2. Turn off <strong>water<\/strong> supply (city H2O or H2O pump).<\/p>\n<p>3. Open closest hot H2O faucet in <strong>RV<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>4. Open the P&amp;T valve by pulling on handle at end of valve and allow H2O to flow until it stops.<\/p>\n<p>5. Release handle on P&amp;T valve &#8211; it should snap shut. ( do this a couple of times as it may stick).<\/p>\n<p>6. Close hot <strong>water<\/strong> faucet.<\/p>\n<p>7. Turn on H2O supply &#8211; Now that everything is closed the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>tank<\/strong> will refill and air <strong>expansion<\/strong> <strong>pocket<\/strong> will be re-established.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat the above procedure if P&amp;T valve continues to weep between heating cycles. If this is not successful then the P&amp;T valve should be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Ray has a <strong>web<\/strong> <strong>site<\/strong> on rvs with technical help for problems like <strong>LP<\/strong>, chassis, deep <strong>cycle<\/strong> batteries, electricity and much more. <a href=\"http:\/\/rv-motorhome-answers.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_new\">http:\/\/rv-motorhome-answers.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author: <a href=\"http:\/\/EzineArticles.com\/?expert=Ray_Oberreuter\">Ray Oberreuter<\/a><br \/>\nArticle Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?Water-Heaters-for-RVs-and-Motorhomes&amp;id=431286\">EzineArticles.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/instantpot.com\/benefits\/\">Benefits of electric pressure cooker<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The majority of RV water heaters and motorhome water heaters are either Suburban water heaters or Atwood water heaters.
