A control valve for limiting the passage of water between a water source and a hot water tank within an automatic control system for water heaters. The control valve contains a sensing means for determining pressure differentials between the hot water tank, the water source and the delivery system. A rod is secured within the control valve housing for limiting the movement of the sensing means when the hot water heater ruptures of leaks. The sensing means also includes a valve seat which acts to control the entrance of water from the water source into the hot water tank. The valve seat defines a leak path which prevents water pressure loss in the hot water tank during a water cooling cycle.
