The Temperature and Pressure relief valve has a threaded outlet. What attaches to it?
The T&P valve outlet must have a run-off tube attached to it. Most building codes require a tube that terminates 6″ from the floor. If the T&P valve activates, water should flow into a drain or into a water heater pan that is plumbed to a drain. This run-off tube may be metal or plastic. Check local plumbing codes for correct material for your area.
