Default Condensation Line

Did a unit today that had the condensation line going through the ceiling above the bathtub.

Never seen anything like that before.

Is that the emergency line? Recently learned that it's okay for the emergency and qualifies for a conspicuous location.

Secondary Condensate is required to drain to a conspicuous spot. In multi story condos it is very common to find the secondary condensate line termination above the bathtub or shower.
