Re: T&P failed test ... seller's agent "unhappy"
I have found that if you move the little handle on the TP valve and it twirls easy then the valve is not frozen closed. But if it does not move then it is frozen closed and needs replacing.

It is almost a guarantee that if you do pop the valve open, it will not close properly and it will leak.
