How would you report this one? Pipe has high temp/pressure rating but vent up and to outside of house. “Drip leg” for… :wha?:
For checking for leakage… duh!
TPR valve extension piping has been reduced in size and runs uphill…recommend repairs by qualified plumber for enhanced safety.
I can’t tell what is on the bottom of the pipe.
(up flow) “Inspector noted the TPRV drain piping on the water heater not installed in a way that will facilitate drainage by gravity per national standards. Its installed going up. We recommend a qualified plumber review for determination and certification that the current install does not inhibit its proper function and corrective repairs as needed.”
You smooth tongued Devil, you. I guess that is much better than FUBAR’d, eh?
TPR discharge piping was installed by an idiot that doesn’t have a friggen clue. . .
Looks like a shut off currently on the closed position.
What is this “EverKleen” thing? Is that just a curved dip tube to keep the sediment mixed up or if there some other fancy gizmo?
You like that one??
Jeff, is that how you word it in your reports? :mrgreen:
I think I’ll borrow that for mine!!
Jeff’s comment is in my boilerplate :twisted:
I linked the mfg install instructions in my report and recommended a lic plumber inspect and repair as needed.
The water heater drain line improperly runs uphill and can be a safety hazard. Have a competent & licensed plumber repipe it safely and in the proper manner.
Hi to all,
I think this is a great idea, and would save all of those pesky leaks onto the floor, I believe that TPR extensions should be run verticaly up through the roof and fitted with a steam whistle at their termination

Steam whistle! LOL!!
Was that the current owner will be seriously scolded or is that scalded to the current method if installation if valve failure occurs
