Water heater pressure release valve
2002 Montana. How easy/difficult is it to replace a pressure release valve on the water heater? Mine has a slow drip that probably will just get worse as time goes on. THANKS

My relief valve drips a bit but mostly when cold, heater off. As it heats up the dripping stops. Am told the seals are bad and when hot expand enough to seal. Trailer is only 1 year old. The dripping soaked the temperature cutoff fuse causing it to fail. Am planning to replace either with identical Watts valve or possibly a Cash Acme valve which some say is better.
If dripping is normal then do some thread in a piece of pipe so the water exists to the bottom of the heater access panel rather than onto the cutoff fuse? Or move the fuse out of the way of the valve and just let it drip?
