Re: Hot water tank pressure regulator spraying hot steamy water
If hot steamy was coming out, I would bet your thermostat let the temp get up over 212f - very dangerous.

Re: Hot water tank pressure regulator spraying hot steamy water
The relief valve works opens on high temp and / or high pressure, so if the stat doesn't turn off the heat it will open.

Re: Hot water tank pressure regulator spraying hot steamy water
The only amount of pressure that should be in the hot water tank when it's cold, is your fresh water system or dockside water pressures.
