INSTALLING THE NEW WATER HEATER THERMAL EXPANSION WATER PIPING As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion). In a closed system the volume of water will grow. As the volume of water grows there will be a corresponding increase in water pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion can cause premature tank failure (leakage). This type of failure is not covered under the limited warranty. Thermal expansion can also cause intermittent temperature-pressure relief valve operation:
