Author: Wheelchair (IL) How long did your other TPR last? Watts and Cash our my 1st and 2nd choice as manufacturers. Just make sure you get the right valve for the BTU specification. Best Wishes

Author: hj (AZ) quote; I never tested it because I have found they sometimes drip a bit after that. That usually means it is time to change it. It is recommended that we test the relief valve on every job we do, but since that may cause the symptoms, we seldom do it.
