Camco Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve with Extension Probe

Description

Product Overview

The Camco Temperature Pressure Relief Valve is engineered for reliable safety in both recreational vehicle (RV) and residential water heating applications. Constructed from a solid brass body, the valve offers superior corrosion resistance and long‑term durability, while the internal stainless steel pressure spring ensures consistent performance under high‑temperature conditions. An epoxy‑coated extension probe protects against buildup and extends the sensing point for precise temperature monitoring. The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and a temperature limit of 210 °F, making it suitable for a wide range of heating systems. With a ¾‑inch National Pipe Tapered (NPT) inlet and a 0.75‑inch male NPT outlet, installation is straightforward, and the included test lever allows quick verification of proper operation. The product complies with CSA certification to ANSI Z21.22 standards, providing confidence in safety and quality.

Usage

This relief valve is ideal for protecting water heaters in RVs, cabins, and home installations where temperature spikes or pressure surges could cause damage or safety hazards. The valve’s automatic release mechanism activates when the water temperature exceeds 210 °F or pressure reaches 150 psi, diverting excess water to prevent overheating and potential tank rupture. Its compact plate‑mount design fits easily into tight spaces, and the epoxy‑coated probe resists corrosion from mineral deposits, extending service life even in hard‑water environments. Whether used in a compact RV water heater or a larger residential system, the valve provides peace of mind by maintaining safe operating conditions without manual intervention. The test lever enables users to simulate a release event during routine maintenance, confirming that the valve functions correctly before any real‑world event occurs.
