[VAL] Hot Water Relief Valve

["S.W.Sandy" <swsandy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello out there,

            My Suburban Hot Water heater was in need of a new relief valve.
I went to my local Plumbing supply dealer and found one for $8.40 plus Tax.
I also went to Camping World for some other goodies the same day, and did a
price check. The same valve was $32+ at CW!! Ouch!! Here is the info on the
relief valve:

Mfg.                  Watts Blue Ribbon Model

Model #             No. 100XL

Temp.               210 degrees

Pressure           150 psi

NPT                  > inch

The only difference I could see, was the temperature sensor probe was 1 =
to 2 inches longer than the valve I removed. That shouldnt be a problem as
the tank is much deeper than the probe.
