Hot Water Relief Valve Drip Normal?
When the electric heat to the hot water tank is on, there is a slight drip from the hot water heater relief valve. We do not know if it happens with Propane heat. Is this normal or is there a prob...

I've replaced the PRV on my previous motor home as re-establishing the air space didn't seem to help and the water released by the valve dripped on my connections and prevented the water heater from relighting. I assume the valve leaked both air and water since re-establishing the air space didn't solve my problem.
Not to hijack the thread but if the valve doesn't open until 150 psi, why doesn't the plumbing system in the RV rupture if the valve is leaking because of over pressure conditions? My understanding is that RV plumbing systems can only withstand 50 to 60 psi.
