Rusty Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Has any one experienced water flowing out of the vent tube, the one from the hot water elbo (red) pipe, that go's in a loop. When I fill the water system, and run the pump to fill the Truma, it dose not pressurize the system, water runs out through the vent pipe. I would be gratful if any one could tell me what has got to be replaced, as the red elbo, dose not seam to be a valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I might be mistaken, but should be a one way valve inline with elbow to the heater's oulet pipe, and the elbow connection to the vent pipe contains a pressure relief valve, both as an integral part/assembly of the elbow. No doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong, but worth checking what I have mentioned. I suspect the seal for the relief valve has persished or has debris in it.

flicka Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hi Rusty Most of the current Truma range Water Heaters have an automatic frost drain, which operates around 5deg. Check to see if the drain valve is open, first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 what I referred to as one way valve as part of the elbows is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Also on "Hints and Tips". It's the hot-water connection 'elbow' that's faulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
