Water dripping frequently from the Atlantic water heater safety valve discharge pipe.

Safety: The safety valve is a critical protection device. Never block or plug the discharge pipe.

• Determine if dripping occurs only during heating (normal thermal expansion) or continuously.
• If dripping is only during heating and volume is moderate, consider installing an expansion vessel for domestic hot water on the cold inlet as recommended by Atlantic.
• If dripping is continuous, operate the safety valve manually several times to flush debris. If it still leaks, replace the complete Atlantic safety group / pressure relief valve.
• Measure mains pressure; if above the valve rating (typically 7 bar), install or service a pressure reducing valve upstream.
