Solderless Crimped Copper Pipe Fittings

[Bob Elliott]

Here are the exact codes.(Chicago )

18-29-504.7.1 Discharge.

The discharge from the relief valve shall be piped separately to an indirect waste receptor located inside the building. The discharge shall be piped full size and installed in a manner that does not cause personal injury or property damage and that is readily observable by the building occupants. The discharge from a relief valve shall not be trapped. The diameter of the discharge piping shall not be less than the diameter of the relief valve outlet. The discharge pipe shall be installed so as to drain by gravity flow and shall terminate atmospherically not more than 6 inches (150 mm) above the floor. The end of the discharge pipe shall not be threaded.

18-29-504.8 Required pan.

Water heaters or hot water storage tanks installed in locations where leakage of the tanks or connections will cause damage shall be installed in a galvanized steel or other metal pan of equal corrosion resistance having a minimum thickness of 24 gauge, 0.0276 inch (0.70 mm) Any water heater installed in a cabinet below a counter shall be provided with a drain pan.

Guys do not listen to anything the fool "Illinois Inspector" has to say as he does not even know the codes in his own state.

How Pathetic.

Go back to classes and learn how to be a Plumber before you start lecturing Professional Home Inspectors.

He is probably a self proclaimed "Master Plumber" Linas, I mean after 20 or so years in the biz, he does now that Nibco makes fittings.

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Did we scare him away?

[Bob Elliott]

Funny, because I saw crimped style last month for the first time.
Yeah we read him the riot act,the jerk.
