b. Valves having only pressure relief features for use on storage tanks of hot water supply systems without heater input limitation.
c. Vacuum relief valves.
A temperature relief valve, or a T&P valve shall operate when the temperature sensing element is at 210°F (99°C) or less. A device with a higher operating temperature is not acceptable under this Standard.
