A temperature pressure relief valve is a valve that’s located somewhere near the top of your water heater. The valve has a lever that can be lifted up or down and a discharge pipe that runs from the valve straight down to the bottom of your water heater.
The purpose of the temperature pressure relief valve is to release water, and in turn lower the pressure inside the tank, in the event that the temperature or pressure gets too high in your water heater. Without a temperature pressure relief valve, your water heater would run the risk of exploding if the temperature or pressure got higher than the tank was designed to handle.
