Yes and No if you are talking about a side outlet pressure relief valve on a tank water heater then No. If you are talking about a top end out let of a water heater then maybe because the air over time could dry out the rubber seal and bleed out and make it slowly leak which in my own thought is very unlikely because most air in water lines seem to absorb into the water, like most air hammer resistors that don't have a bladder in them fail to work over time. One theory is that lets say you fixed a leak on a water line going to your water heater and now when you turn on the pressure the air goes into your water heater tank and stays at the top of the tank and since air can go threw smaller holes then water can it bleeds out your PRV and some how opens holes on the seal bigger to allow water to bleed threw so depending on what PRV and where it is located and how old the PRV makes it a yes or no answer.
What else can I help you with?
Can a bad pressure tank cause air in water lines?
Yes, a bad pressure tank can cause air to enter the water lines, leading to air bubbles in the water supply.
Why is there air in your water lines?
Air can get into water lines due to a few reasons, such as leaks in the pipes, changes in water pressure, or air trapped in the system during installation. This air can cause sputtering or spurting from faucets and affect water flow.
How is pressure testing of water lines with air conducted to ensure their integrity and reliability?
Pressure testing of water lines with air is conducted by pressurizing the lines with compressed air and monitoring for any drops in pressure. This helps to identify any leaks or weaknesses in the system, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the water lines.
How can air in water lines be effectively removed to ensure proper water flow and pressure?
Air in water lines can be effectively removed by opening the highest and lowest faucets in the building to allow the air to escape. This process, known as bleeding the lines, helps ensure proper water flow and pressure by allowing the air to be pushed out by the water.
Would having air in one's pipes cause a reduction in hot water pressure when taking a shower?
== Answer== I don't think so, but get the air out of lines to make sure.
What is the purpose of a device used to remove air from water lines?
The purpose of a device used to remove air from water lines is to ensure proper water flow and pressure by eliminating air pockets that can disrupt the flow of water.
What causes air to be present in water lines connected to a well system?
Air can be present in water lines connected to a well system due to a variety of reasons, such as air leaks in the system, fluctuations in water pressure, or the presence of air pockets in the pipes.
Why am I experiencing air in my water lines?
Air in water lines can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as a leak in the pipes, changes in water pressure, or air getting trapped in the system. It is important to identify and fix the underlying issue to prevent further problems with your water supply.
Why water pipes shake when water is running?
They shake because, the water exerts pressure when running in the pipes
What is the relationship between the water pressure, tank air pressure, and the overall performance of a water pressure tank system?
The water pressure in a tank system is directly related to the tank air pressure. The tank air pressure helps regulate the water pressure and overall performance of the system. If the tank air pressure is too low, the water pressure may drop, affecting the system's efficiency. Conversely, if the tank air pressure is too high, it can cause the water pressure to be too high, potentially damaging the system. Maintaining the correct balance between water pressure and tank air pressure is crucial for optimal performance of the water pressure tank system.
Why would just the upstairs faucets sputter when first turned on?
Air in the water lines to the upstairs. Not enough water pressure.
What are lines on a map that join places that have equal air pressure?
Lines of Barometric pressure
