EXPLOSION OR RUPTURE HAZARD. A relief
valve must be installed to prevent pressure in
excess of local code requirement or maximum working pressure
designated in the Product Manual, whichever is less. At least once every
3 years or if discharge is present, a licensed contractor should inspect the
temperature and pressure relief valve and replace if corrosion is evident
or the valve does not function. FAILURE TO INSPECT THIS VALVE AS
DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE OR
PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE,
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR SEVERE PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
