What Are PTR & ECV Valves & Why Are They Important?
Your hot water system relies on two critical valves to function safely and efficiently:
✔ Pressure & Temperature Relief (PTR) Valve – This valve releases excess heat and pressure to prevent tank explosions or overheating.
✔ Expansion Control Valve (ECV) – Works with the PTR valve to control water expansion and reduce stress on pipes and fittings.
These safety components help prevent leaks, extend the life of your hot water system, and ensure compliance with Australian plumbing regulations.
Signs You Need a PTR or ECV Valve Replacement:
✔ Water leaking from the valve – A constantly dripping or leaking valve may be faulty.
✔ Noisy hot water system – Whistling, banging, or hissing sounds indicate pressure buildup.
✔ Fluctuating water pressure – A failing valve can cause inconsistent flow.
✔ Overheating or scalding water – The PTR valve may not be regulating temperature correctly.
✔ Frequent leaks around your hot water unit – High pressure can cause stress and damage.
✔ Old or corroded valve – PTR and ECV valves should be replaced every 5 years.
Ignoring a faulty PTR or ECV valve can lead to hot water system failure, excessive water wastage, and costly repairs.
