The Watts DP100XL-TT-150210 is a 3/4" temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve for residential water heater service, factory set at 150 psi and 210°F. It features a brass body. Rated to 150 psi and up to 210°F.
This 3/4 inch temperature and pressure relief valve is used in water heater and hot water storage tank applications to provide automatic temperature and pressure protection to hot water supply tanks and hot water heaters up to 105,000 BTU/hr. It features a brass body with NPT male inlet and NPT female outlet connections, 8 inch extension thermostat with special thermo-bonded coating, and a test lever. It is ASME rated and CSA listed. The temperature relief is at 180 degrees F, and the pressure relief is 150 psi (10.6 bar).

Common Questions
- What pressure is this valve set to?
- It is factory set to relieve at 150 psi and 210°F. The setting is fixed and is not field-adjustable.
- Will it fit my water heater — what BTU input does it cover?
- This valve is rated for 105,000 BTU/hr on the CSA temperature-steam basis. Code requires the relief valve's discharge capacity to equal or exceed the input of the appliance it protects, so the number on your heater or boiler nameplate must be at or below that figure. Compare it against the input rating on the water heater's data plate.
- Is this ASME rated?
- Yes. It is ASME rated and carries the "HV" code symbol under ASME BPVC Section XIII (the section that replaced Section IV for overpressure protection), and it is National Board (NBBI) certified. It is also ANSI Z21.22 / CSA 4.4 approved, which is the listing water heater relief valves are required to carry. Inspectors look for that stamp on the valve body, and it is there.
- Can I use this on potable water?
- No. This model is not certified lead-free, so it cannot be installed in a potable (drinking) water line under the NSF/ANSI 372 weighted-average lead rule. Use it on non-potable service, or order the "LF" version of this model for potable water.
- What thermostat length do I need?
- This valve has a 8" thermostat probe. The probe must reach into the top 6" of the tank's stored water to sense temperature, so it has to match the depth of your tapping — too short and the valve never sees the overheat it exists to catch. Watts builds this series in several probe lengths; measure before ordering.
- Does the discharge have to be piped?
- Yes. Codes require the outlet to be piped full-size to a safe point of discharge, terminating with an air gap and no valve, cap, or reducer anywhere in the line — a relief valve that cannot discharge freely is not protecting anything. The manual test lever should be operated at least annually to confirm the valve is not seized.
