Hey guys,
2016 Grandby Fd. I've noticed that the hot water line below the sink will leak after firing up the hot water heater for the first time in a day or so. I'm assuming enough time for the water in the tank to cool down. Once the water is freshly heated, it has obviously expanded in the tank and system forcing some hot water past the fittings below the sink. I can keep the fittings from leaking if I open the hot sink valve and let a little water out a few times while it's being heated. The pressure from the sink is obviously higher than usual for just a second or so. Until it's been relived.
Is this normal, or is there a pressure valve or something plugged up or not functioning someplace?
