Technical Insight & Common Failure Symptoms
The PRV opens to relieve excess pressure and closes again when the pressure falls. Debris or limescale around the valve seal can cause persistent leakage. Discharge can also indicate excessive system pressure, so the cause should be diagnosed before replacing the valve.
Symptoms that may indicate a PRV fault include:
- Persistent dripping from the pressure relief discharge pipe.
- Loss of heating-system pressure caused by leakage through the valve.
- A valve that fails to close properly after releasing excess pressure.
Compatibility
