If my PRV is broken and lets my incoming presure rise to around 110psi will that cause my expansion tank to fail also as it will just fill up with water and then pressurise the whole system to 110 then open my t&p valve when the water heats?
Also I have no expansion tank and my system is closed it sits at about 48psi. when my heater cycles to heat water it rises to about 70 psi but once it stops heating it drops back to 48 again I thought once it heated and expanded it would hold at the high setting. So once the water is at temperature does it contract back. No outlets were opened I am sure. Or is pressure excaping somewere?
Sorry for all the question tring to help a freind out.
