Since water can not be compressed easily, in a closed system heated water can quickly increase pressure to dangerously high amounts… Water expands at a rate of approximately 0.00023 pct. for each degree of temperature rise…
If a closed full piping system is at 50 PSI, just a small increase in temperatures and its related small increase in water volume could result in increased system pressures that are very high…
At least one valve should be left open so pressure can not cause a problem…
of course you have a valve that will open at 150 or more PSI in the hot water tank , that’s not good enough…
