What happens here

This project guides you through the process of replacing a temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve on a gas water heater. The original valve failed due to excessive temperature/pressure caused by a bumped thermostat. The process involves draining water, removing the old valve, preparing and installing a new T&P valve, refilling the tank, lighting the pilot, and addressing a secondary leak on the drain valve.
