[QUOTE="Mister Twister, post: 1217386, member: 26381"] Yes it surprised me when I put a gauge in the line. I had always been on a well and when the hot water tank heated it must have pushed back towards the well. When I changed to the public water system there was a check valve in the meter pit out front of the house preventing back flow. It only occurred if I happened to not use water for a while and the hot water tank heated in that period. Since I put in the expansion tank it compensates for the condition like it is designed to do. It was a learning experience and I am luck nothing bursted. My old T&P did not leak through that so now you see my confusion..... [/QUOTE]
