How to replace a leaking pressure relief valve on a water heater. Is your pressure relief valve leaking? Or maybe it is an intermittent leak? In this video I explain what the pressure relief valve is for, how it works, and how to replace one. In this video I go over two methods of how to replace it:

Method #1:
1. Turn off the gas/breaker and turn down the temperature
2. Close cold water shut off valve on top of water heater
3. Open a hot water faucet and leave it opened
4. Hook up a garden hose and open drain valve to partially or completely drain the tank.
5. Close drain valve when done and disconnect garden hose.
6. Remove old pressure relief valve and put new one in.
7. Open the water shut off valve slowly and give it some time to fill back up.
8. Turn gas or power back on and increase the temperature.

Method #2:
1. Turn off gas/power and turn down temperature setting.
2. Open hot water faucet and put your hand under the water for a while. If water is too hot, let the water keep running until it cools off to the point where you can leave your hand in the water. Once the water cools off, close the hot water.
3. Close the water shut off valve on top of water heater.
4. Open hot water faucet again. The water should stop flowing completely or come to a slow drip. Close the hot water faucet.
5. Remove pressure relief valve and put new one in.
6. Open the water shut off valve slowly.
7. Turn gas/power back on and increase temp set point.
