Ohio Water Heater Authority is an independent, privately owned water heater service company and a Transit & Flow™ company. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with the State of Ohio or any public utility.
The T&P valve is a safety valve on every tank water heater that opens if tank temperature or pressure goes above a safe limit, releasing water through a discharge pipe.
The discharge pipe must run to an approved location without being capped, reduced or threaded at the end. A T&P that drips is telling you something, usually high pressure or thermal expansion, and it should never be plugged.
We check it on every visit, as described in the maintenance guide.
