Questions
Does this heater come with a pressure and temperature relief valve?
According to the photo it does. Upper left of the unit as viewed. I have never seen a recreational water heater come without a relief valve. Of course that doesn’t mean they all do.
Note: If your boat is fitted with a dock water regulator fitting, a fitting to connect the boat to city pressure water, the relief valve must be plumbed to an overboard discharge. This is to prevent water from flooding in the event of the valve relieving. This is an ABYC Standard.
