Pressure relief valve on hot water heater
My pressure relief valve is leaking at water heater at home, but has same type set up like RV. Do these valves go bad and I can just replace the valve? Water still gets hot. The water heater is old...

New valve installed, filled back up with water and fired it up.
(Ya, I sort of know I got ripped when I bought new valve. Hardware store is closet to me and one of those that has just about everything. Saves trips but I still pay the price. For example I had to buy a chuck of PVC. A 10 foot piece was exactly double what the big box store sells it for. But don't have to drive 16 miles round trip either)
Water heater warming up and new valve has no leaks. (Don't know if I should say; No leaks yet or no leaks period....we'll see).
Will post again when burner shuts off meaning water up to temp.
