Temperature-PressureReliefValve

This heater is provided with a properly certified combination

temperature - pressure relief valve by the manufacturer.

The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing

laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production

of listed equipment of materials as meeting the requirements

for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-off Devices for
