A 2004 Bradford & White water heater has a pressure valve off the hot water copper line above the tank with a small diamater line extending to the ground.
Should this valve be removed? If yes why? If no how come? |

Did the tank itself have a TPR valve installed correctly? |

That relief valve is worthless.

It's an unnecessary component, subject to failure over time. It would be fairly simple to just cap it off, which would probably be my recommendation. . .
