Water Heater bad or Sharkbite Thermal Expansion Valve bad?

[Mustanggt428]

Installed a new GE Smart 50 Gallon Electric Water Heater with Flex Capacity and added a Sharkbite Thermal
Expansion Relief valve that is piped to my utility sink. Any idea what the hell is happening?Failure video

I am currently researching this but I think I will end up going with an expansion tank as it immediately absorbs increased pressure whereas the sharkbite part only works at 125 psi.

Do you have a pressure gauge?

Does the valve have an arrow on it for direction of water flow?

Have checked your home water pressure?
Those are supposed to relieve themselves at 125 PSI I believe.
A house pressure should be 80 PSI or less.

Thermal Expansion Relief Valve

Replaces an expansion tank, shut-off valve and fitting when installing or servicing a water heater.
