Yes, it can be mounted horizontally or vertically but Watts states "Important: A relief valve functions, in an emergency, by discharging water. Therefore it is essential that a discharge line be piped from the valve in order to carry the overflow to a safe place of disposal. The discharge line must be the same size as the valve outlet, and must pitch downward from the valve." You can refer to Watts website and on their support page under Temperature and Pressure (T&P) relief valves they have instructions and diagrams.
Yes. That 650kBTU limit is just where the boiler size dictates a larger outlet for the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) connection. In other words, don’t put a reducer on your 1-inch PRV connection just so you can save a few bucks by using a ¾-inch PRV.
There is no adjustment on this valve. Your pressure reducing valve should be set around 12-25 PSI.
This valve is designed to open up at 30# water pressure. NOT adjustable. Look at the feed valve for your problem. If yours is circulated hot water, it should operate at around 20#. Sounds like the feed valve (fresh water supply to system) is charging your system to at or near water line pressure.
According to the manufacturer, there is not a re-build kit available.
