Pressure Relief Valves.
(OP)
I have a quick question. I have a hydronics Rep telling me to put the pressure relief valve of a hot water system containing a heater exchanger on the suction side of the pump (right after the expansion tank).
Is this philosophy correct. Shouldn't it be on the discharge side of the pump where the highest pressure of the system is ??
Thanks for your response.

Having said that, our design showed the pressure relief valve on the discharge of the pump, but the contractor installed it on the suction side after the expansion tank. And to my surprise this hydronics engineer agreed with the location. My collegues at the office disagreed with the location and hence I turned to this forum for other opinions.
I wanted to see if there was a logic behind locating it there that I didn't quite understand or if anybody else agree with it.
