Hi everyone.
Here is what happened at a townhouse:
A T&P valve leaks on an older hot water tank.
Replaced it with a new tank. Still leaks.
Changed the T&P valve on the new tank. Still leaks.
The leak is very slow - about a litre per week.
Turned down the valve a bit at the tank's cold water supply. It leaks less.
I'm not certain if the leak is constant or only happens sometimes.
City water pressure is normal. The tank is not over-heated. There is no pressure regulating device at the house.
What could be the problem, and the recommended solution?
Thanks!
Paul
