8 HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS Water is stored in a vitreous enamel lined steel cylinder and heated by a gas burner located under the cylinder. The heat produced by the burner is transferred to the water through the base of the cylinder and through the wall of a flue pipe which passes through the centre of the cylin der.
9 REGULAR CARE TEMPERATURE PRE SSU RE R ELIEF VAL VE This valve is near the top of the water heater and is essential for its safe operation. It is possible for the valve to release a little water through the drain line during each heating period. This occurs as the water is heated and expands by approximately 1/50 of its volume.
REGULAR CARE 10 TEMPERATURE LIMITING VALVE A RheemPlus water heater is fitted with a temperature limiting valve at the hot water outlet. The valve is set to deliver water not exceeding 50 ° C. The valve should be checked for performance every twelve months.
