The pressure relief valve is a safety measure in place to prevent unexpected and dangerous high pressure from rupturing the expensive copper heater coils. These valves come preset from the manufacturer to bypass water that is pressurized beyond 600 PSI.
Standard pressure models are pressure tested at 900 PSI at the factory. We don't recommend adjusting the pressure relief valve, they are preset for a reason. It is a good maintenance procedure to check that the set screw in the pressure relief valve is not lose so that the valve will not back out and allow for increased pressure to the system.
The pressure relief valve is essential for safe operation of Water Heaters. Replace immediately if pressures exceed 600 PSI and the relief valve does not open.
