Had a new gas furnance and water heater system installed in July 2000
converted over from oil. Recently I noticed all of a sudden the T/P valve drips normally after shower/tub taken and heater is fired up. was advise to replace the valve sometimes they stick alittle and i have tested it once a year. i replaced the valve and still a slight dripping when heating up. next I put a pressure guage on the tanks drain valve, 60 psi rading, left on for a day and high reading hit close to 150f the valve's rating reason for the drip. What is the next step and why does this happen? Also at the time of the new system installed an inlet pressure reducing valve was installed by the plumber before meter unit could this have gone bad? Any advice, is this safe?
