US Patent:
2007011, May 24, 2007
Filed:
Nov 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/593730
Inventors:
Scott Burningham - Bountiful UT, US
International Classification:
F24D 3/08
US Classification:
237019000
Abstract:
In combination with a water piping arrangement having a backflow preventer and a water heater with a standard temperature-pressure relief valve, an auxiliary pressure-relief device is installed in the cold-water supply line to the water heater and this auxiliary relief device is adapted to activate at a pressure slightly below that which activates the temperature-pressure relief device, thereby releasing water and excessive pressure buildup in the piping arrangement due to thermal expansion of water in the water heater. The water released in order to prevent the excessive pressure buildup is routed to a floor drain via flexible plastic tubing.
