Thanks for the replies.
Rv water heater pop off valve leaking.
The leak stopped for awhile and is now back.
If the valve has a leak we can replace it with a new relief valve a very common water heater repair.
These valves may look identical but they re set to go off at 30 psi.
Help me understand the concept.
Winnebago customer support suggested the same thing.
That doesn t make sense to me.
This valve is set at 150 psi and is crafted with epoxy coated probes to prevent corrosion buildup.
Close the cold water cut off valve going into the water heater.
The water will leak out but not air.
Following their advice i turned off the water pump opened the the pop off valve and ran a inside faucet to create a air pocket.
First turn off the gas to the water heater or flip the breaker if it s electric.
Remove the overflow pipe from the pressure relief valve.
If a pressure relief valve for a boiler is accidentally installed on a water heater it will leak like crazy from the start.
