I don't know your level of experience so please take these questions with a grain of salt...
It's not the vacuum breaker hissing is it? What is the relief pressure rating on the safety valve? I'd expect it be at least 1.8 bar and higher so should not hiss until then. Also is it hissing due to valve opening or bad seal on valve threads? I guess you have the p-stat wired correctly? There are often three connections on the switch common, normally open and normally closed. You need common and normally closed.
