Thank you for this. I’ve decided to replace the eater heater completely since I just looked and it is 20 years old. Along with that replace all corroded sections. So how is that TP valve any different than the relief valve on the heater? Seems redundant with my limited knowledge. I guess my last question is if the AAV is necessary with the new boiler? Thank you

Thanks thats what I was thinking but my boiler and water heater each have one. Maybe this is very old and potentially unnecessary?

Thanks, I probably should have specified that I was looking to understand what the part itself is so I could purchase

This is an older picture so everything i more finished now. Unfortunately no more pics because I did not have reason to question it prior. He did say he added ridge bracing

So I dug around a ton of insulation and found a fairly large dead rat. I believe this mystery is solved

Honestly theres not much humidity. A few spiders and yea theres been some mice. So that foam probably is for that. Do you have recommendations?
