Heavy water leak from T&P Valve from water heater

Heavy water leak from T&P Valve from water heater

Member since 2017 · 21 posts · 4 votes

My water heater was replaced several months ago.  Then there was water hammering sound.  Later, the T&P valve started leaking heavily. Once I turned on the incoming water to the water heater, there was screaming sound and the T&P valve being pushed out and heavy leaking from the pipe.  I have replace the T&P Valve.  But still leaking heavily.  It's not dripping, but heavy leaking. BTW, there was no leaking issue with the old water heater.  Any expert recommendations? Thanks!

    Mystery solved. The water pressure regulator is broken.  The incoming water pressure reached 170 psi, way too high. The leaking problem is gone once a new water pressure regulator was installed.  Thanks!
