T&T: Water Heater Question

[Robin Brueckner]

Larry's post regarding use of a check valve on the water supply side is
right on.

A related issue is that marine pressure release valves usually have much
lower release pressures than home units...maybe because the systems are
much smaller....anyway,  if you replace a pressure release valve aboard
it's safest to get a low pressure one..

I just checked the one in my basement its 150 PSI at 210 degrees...boy
that seems awfully high..?? I replaced it several years ago and I now
wonder if I got the right pressure....anyway that's way too high
aboard...
