Water heater relief valve source and model #

[Tony Benoit]

Ahoy y'all,

The temperature-pressure relief valve on my water heater started leaking regularly and profusely.  I removed the old one and found that the local plumbing supply place didn't have anything with a 1/2" thread.  I called Seaward, but customer service assured me that I had to call Atwood, since that company had manufactured the unit for Seaward.

Atwood steered me to a local RV dealer, who sold me a Cash Acme NCLX-5.  It fits.  Atwood technical support assured me that the listed temperature, 210 degrees F., is correct.  (She said it might start to weep around 155 degrees--I hope not!)

I'll let you know if this unit causes trouble.

Thanks,

Tony
