Temperature pressure relief valve 3/4s female thread

[Matt887]

Do they sell temperature/pressure relief valves with 3/4s female threads? The cylinder has a male thread for this connection. I am G3. Thanks

A quick internet search suggests they are available

Yes, female inlet TPR valves are available, though most of the ones stocked at the merchants are male inlet 3/4. If you are stuck, a short 3/4 male to male nipple in the cylinder boss lets you use a standard male inlet valve without any problem. Just keep the discharge pipework to the usual G3 requirements.

The composite valve is ok reducing pressure to 3bar. The expansion vessel has the correct pre-charge of 3bar. There is no back pressure on the cold side from a mixer tap as mains pressure is also 3 bar. Can these valves some times just go wrong, will be 18 years old

How would a male nipple help him ?
