Leaking T&P Valve Question

Hi there, I have a t&p valve similar to this one below. It's leaking at the nut on the side. Can someone tell me what that nut is for? More for info as I have a plumber coming tomorrow so assume we'll replace the part. I just don't see that nut on many of these valves so curious.

  • Which nut there's at least 3 of them?
  • The good news is that I know which nut he is referring to.

    The bad is that I haven't a clue what it does.

    It looks like an isolator - ie give it a quarter-turn and it closes off the valve - but it also looks as tho' it has 'something' in the centre of that 'wing'?

    Haven't a scooby. Try emailing Redring? And then please come back :-)
  • If it's the thing that's not a nut in the slightest then it's a discharge valve (a safety device)
