PRV...........very common acronym in RV speak for 'pressure relief valve' on WH.
Very rarely will you see it referred to as a T&P (more common of an acronym in the real world) :B
Might be cause the 'temp' is forgotten about opening at 210*F
I never thought of that. Being a plumber, I am set in my ways with its terms. Maybe now I understand why so many people call into my office saying the PRV on their water heater is leaking. The girl who takes the calls always writes up the tickets that way, too, and I always shake my head, knowing they really mean the T&P. maybe I have more RVing customers than I thought.
