Recommend repositioning the dryer vent due to lint build up on a/c coils.
Is that a drain pipe above the dryer vent. If it is I will recommend an extention to avoid water entering the foundation.

I agree with Earl, and also repair the insulation on the refrigerant line.

Won’t a steady flow of warm moist air onto the condenser cause abnormal rust, corrosion, deterioration, etc. What’s up with the PVC drain line above the dryer vent?. If that’s the a/c primary condensation drain line, it’s going to discharge directly onto the dryer vent, keeping the vent and/or brick veneer abnormally wet during operation.

Are we certain that is a condensate line and not a TPR valve? If it is a TPR line I would not see an issue?

Hi Richard;
In Texas, do they allow PVC for water heater temperature pressure relief valve drain lines?

Yes. CPVC is allowed. Are you just allowed copper in CA?

Yes, CPVC is allowed in California. I believe its approved for domestic water supply by all the model plumbing codes. The pipe extension in the picture looked white in color. Most of the CPVC I’ve bumped into is beige, tan or light grey in color. It could be painted however, which I believe is an OEM installation requirement for exposed exterior applications.

I do see white CPVC all the time here. What is odd about this picture and maybe it is a regional thing is that, if it is a TPR valve, where is the w. heater pan overflow pipe? Down here all of our w. heaters are in the attic so we have two pipes for the w. heater.

Hey Barron;
Do you remember what that PVC/CPVC drain line was running to? Water heater or central air unit?
