Description

The CAMCO MFG 10493 is a temperature and pressure relief valve designed for residential water heater installations. It provides a critical safety function by automatically releasing excess pressure or temperature buildup inside the tank, preventing catastrophic failure. The valve features a 3/4-inch inlet and outlet connection, a 2.5-inch shank, and a 4-inch probe for accurate sensing within the tank. It is rated to 150 psi, making it suitable for standard residential hot water systems. Licensed plumbers install this valve as part of routine water heater service or replacement work.

This valve is used on residential storage-tank water heaters where a T and P relief valve is required by code. It is a direct-style replacement for water heaters with a 3/4-inch threaded port and a shank depth of 2.5 inches. The 4-inch probe reaches into the tank to monitor water temperature at the heat source. This type of valve is a code-required safety component under the International Plumbing Code and must be installed on every water heater.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code.

Always route the discharge pipe of the relief valve downward to a safe drain location and never cap or plug the outlet.
