RE: Pressure relief valve

I asked about the pressure relief valve on a gas water heater yesterday.  thanks to everyone for your answers.
My question is: If there is a leak in the gas water heater, and I want to minimize the damage, this is what I am going to do to prevent any flood damage:
1. shut off the incoming water to the water heater;
2. Tun on the hot water faucets in the house to let water come out quickly.

Do I have to do anything with the pressure relief valve?  Do I leave it the way it was?
Thanks for your feedback.

• 没有hose, 如果只是要放干热水桶里的水，用个水桶也可接水啊，一桶一桶的接就行了。 -水中捞月- ♂ (0 bytes) () 07/16/2014 postreply 11:10:28

• 如果你想把热水器的水位降到最低，最好的办法是接garden hose到热水器下部的放水阀放水。 -易木- ♂ (0 bytes) () 07/16/2014 postreply 11:42:34
