Ok pulling your leg.
This is a TPR valve running from a 30 gal electric that not only runs up hill but also terminates at a faucet type spout in the kitchen sink. From what I understand all of the water heaters in this one of Chicago's most famous buildings (Marina City) is installed in just this way. ![]() ![]()

Air gap to an indirect waste receptacle. Certainly located where it would get noticed if it discharged.

Discharge pipe from the water heater TPR valve must always run downhill- if the TPR valve opens occasionally, and water / steam instead of being drained, accumulates / floods the valve, it might eventually cause its corrosion, and prevent it from functioning properly or at all.

Do you consider it ok to run uphill ? Do you see any issues? Do you feels into a kitchen sink is ok? Do you ever take advice from members of this forum (internet) ? |

Also, as was indicated by others "check this house .com " is hardly an authoratative source for installation standards (might as well quote HG TV). You might reference appliable codes (I know you are not a code inspector) or manufacturer installaton documentation.

Spout is a smaller diameter,good point.
Inspecting NY is not official code either but I bet most of the guys here go there for last minute info. Sorry if Check this house angered anyone but the info is correct. |
