Series lfbrvm1 combination ball valve and relief valve is an easy to install two in one device used to shut off the water supply to the water heater and to provide protection against excess water pressure caused by thermal expansion.

The last line of defense for pressurized equipment temperature and pressure t p relief valves protect equipment from excess pressure and ultimately catastrophic failure. This type of valve is used instead of a temperature pressure relief valve tpr and it shuts off the gas if the water heater over pressurizes or if the water heater gets too hot. They are used to prevent plumbing system and or water heater damage as well as unnecessary relief valve discharge caused by excessive pressure from thermal expansion. Relief valve the set pressure of the t p valve or the secondary relief valve setting.
