Bradford White 415-40594-02 Relief Valve
The Bradford White 415-40594-02 Relief Valve is a critical safety component designed for high-performance water heater applications. This temperature and pressure relief valve (T&P) is engineered to prevent system failure by discharging water when internal pressures exceed 150 PSI or temperatures reach 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Featuring a 3/4 inch NPT connection, this brass safety relief valve is the standard replacement part for various Bradford White residential and light commercial models. The sensing element is coated with a specialized thermosetting epoxy to resist mineral buildup and corrosion, ensuring reliable mechanical actuation during thermal expansion events. For contractors performing routine maintenance or emergency repairs, installing an OEM water heater safety valve like the 415-40594-02 ensures the system maintains compliance with ASME Section IV requirements. This valve handles a high BTU discharge capacity, making it essential for protecting the integrity of the storage tank and downstream plumbing infrastructure.
Key Benefits for Contractors- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Built with heavy-duty brass and an epoxy-coated probe to withstand harsh water conditions.
- Precise Calibration: Factory-set to 150 PSI and 210°F for consistent protection against over-pressurization.
- OEM Compatibility: Designed specifically as a direct-fit replacement for Bradford White water heaters, reducing installation time.
- ASME Certified: Meets rigorous safety standards for thermal relief and pressure discharge capacity.
What causes a relief valve to drip constantly?
Continuous dripping usually indicates either excessive system pressure, thermal expansion without a proper expansion tank, or sediment buildup preventing the 415-40594-02 valve from seating correctly.
Is this valve compatible with other water heater brands?
While this is an OEM Bradford White component, it can be used on any water heater requiring a 3/4" NPT T&P valve with matching BTU ratings, provided the probe length reaches the tank's critical heat zone.
When should a T&P relief valve be replaced?
Technicians recommend testing the lever annually. If the valve fails to discharge or fails to reseal after manual actuation, a replacement is necessary to maintain system safety.
