Hot water heater relief valve

These " How to" Plumbing videos are a must. Even if you feel you know everything there is to know about plumbing repairs, there is something in these videos for you. Just imagine if you could watch a plumber install and repair plumbing day by day, hour after hour. Could you imagine what you would learn? Yes, you could learn enough to start your own plumbing repair service. Not only would you save money, but you can make money. Well, your wish has come true. On these videos you will find and learn all the tricks of the trade that the pros already know. No more biting your nails when you call the plumber. No more taking off from work, staying at home waiting for the plumber to show up only to have him / her call you to say he or she may have to reschedule. With these plumbing videos you will be impressed and happy to know the knowledge is just an arm's reach away.
Pick up any one of the videos; toilet, bath, sink, tub and shower, kitchen sink, hot water heater and the sump pump. The list goes on. Every video has been created by a licensed plumber with over 25 years experience in plumbing repairs services. You will be watching a real plumber doing service, not someone that can just talk the talk, but can walk the walk.
There are no plumbing videos out there like these. It took years to develop these videos. We know there is a need out there for these plumbing repair videos. After years of plumbing service, we have come across many people who could really not afford a plumber and went years without plumbing services, even to the point that they would have to move from their home or pay thousands of dollars for plumbing repairs. If only these people had this knowledge, they could and would have saved their home and their money.
We know you are out there. We have come to save the day. Everyone does not have $90 to $200 to have a plumber come out just to tell them what the problem is and what it will cost to fix. We are not trying to put plumbers out of work. We are just trying to keep you out of the red. There will still be times when you may need a plumber, but wouldn't you feel good understanding what the plumber is doing and what you are getting for your money. You know that you are not going to be cheated because you have a better understanding of the problem and how it can be fixed.

The pressure relief valve on mine stops at about the 10:00 position and seems like if I try to move it anymore would strip it out. It is similar to the one you show here in this video. It has the same amount of threads as the old one. What would cause this? How come I can't tighten this to the 6:00 position?

@vastjosie You may have striped it out. I hope not. If so you will need another relieve valve. Pull it back out and look at the threads. also try re-installing it. good luck.

Is that Teflon tape or plumber dope on the new relief valve????

[plumberx]

@SUBDUDE732 Teflon Tape

[Xx1BIGG4xX]

what does it mean if hot water is coming out of that pipe that connects to the valve?

[plumberx]

@Xx1BIGG4xX That Valve is gone bad or you may need a expention tank install on the cold inlet side your getting to much water pressure from water being to hot or high pressure from the house main. try the cheapest thing first replace the valve.

[ardoin03]

is it normal for the release valve to be hot? we just changed it since it was leaking

[AnthonyReikow69]

@Xx1BIGG4xX It means you HWH is working if hot water comes out of the pipe

@plumberx No, you don't have to go back! I wasn't clear, I guess. I was watching near the end and it was just a little crooked, and it looked like you were done, so I was all screaming at the computer, then in the last few seconds you fixed it, putting me in my place. LOL
