Step 1 · Gather Tools and Supplies

Before starting any work, it's crucial to gather all the necessary tools and supplies. This ensures you can complete the job efficiently without interruptions. You will need a new T&P valve that matches the specifications of your old one (check the PSI and temperature ratings). You'll also need a large pipe wrench to provide the leverage needed to remove the old valve and tighten the new one, Teflon tape for sealing the threads, a garden hose for draining, and a bucket to catch any residual water. Wearing work gloves is recommended for grip and protection against hot surfaces.
