Default Thermal Expansion Relief Valve

What about using a Thermal Expansion Relief Valve, if you don't have room for an expansion tank?

See posts #39 and #43 above.

The expansion tank is fairly small, about 9" in diameter, 15" high. Mine sits right above the water heater but I don't know if that is required though you probably want it on the heater side of any hot water shutoff valve.
