What Are Thermal Expansion Relief Valves?
Thermal expansion causes pressure to increase in a hot water tank. If that pressure is not relieved, the tank could be severely damaged or even explode. In traditional systems, the pressure is relieved by displacing some of the water into a separate expansion tank.
Another option is a thermal expansion relief valve (TERV). It is a specialized safety valve that relieves the high pressure by discharging water through an outlet line directly into a drain or water heater pan. TERV technology eliminates the expense and space needed for a secondary tank and is easier to install and maintain.
